FreeBSD 6.0 - Network operations result in <IP> <MASK>: not found?

[Eli K. Breen]

Nope, however I did figure out what it was:

in rc.conf:

ifconfig_fxp0=         "inet <ip1>  netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias0=  "inet <ip 2>   netmask 255.255.255.255"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias1=  "inet <ip 3>   netmask 255.255.255.255"

The above causes the problem.

Changing to this solves it:

ifconfig_fxp0="inet <ip1>  netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet <ip 2>   netmask 255.255.255.255"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias1="inet <ip 3>   netmask 255.255.255.255"

Unexpected to say the least.
