From ac606903a800bc4ce80bc6fa1374b45efcdb7014 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Bjoern A. Zeeb" Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2022 13:09:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ifconfig: print interface name on SIOCIFCREATE2 error We have repeatedly gotten reports of unclassified SIOCIFCREATE2 errors (usually "Device not configured"). This can happen if there is configuration for interfaces in rc.conf which do not (yet) exist and we try to configure. I can, e.g., provoke this by configuring wlan interfaces with their physical interface not installed. In order to cut support (guesswork) down print the name of the interface to be configured with the error message. Hopefully this will help us in the future to improve other configuration or driver problems.
