Description Ian Lister 2009-11-26 13:00:12 UTC

The current version of the FreeBSD Handbook on the web states, in section 30.4.1 "Using the PF loadable kernel module", that pf.ko "was created with pflog(4) enabled".  However, this does not appear to have been the case for several years; pflog(4) was apparently moved to a separate pflog.ko in 2006 (see svn r155337).  The handbook needs to be updated to reflect this.

Fix: 

# kldload pflog.ko
# ifconfig pflog0
pflog0: flags=0<> metric 0 mtu 33204
How-To-Repeat: # kldload pf.ko
# ifconfig pflog0
ifconfig: interface pflog0 does not exist
# ifconfig pflog0 create
ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Invalid argument
