Hello, I have the problem, that the 1st defined alias is lost sometimes. My WiFi card is a: iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 0xe0204000-0xe0204fff irq 11 at device 6.0 on pci2 My IP configuration in /etc/rc.conf is: ipv6_privacy="YES" wlans_iwi0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="DHCP WPA country DE" ifconfig_wlan0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv" ifconfig_wlan0_alias0="inet 192.168.0.201 netmask 255.255.255.255" ifconfig_wlan0_alias1="inet 192.168.0.202 netmask 255.255.255.255" After a reboot all is working as expected. Then, every ~ hour I have a message like this in /var/log/messages, which is IMHO ok: Dec 21 18:43:30 freebsd wpa_supplicant[484]: WPA: Group rekeying completed with 0c:0c:0b:14:cd:98 [GTK=CCMP] Of course, sometimes I have: Dec 21 19:43:30 freebsd wpa_supplicant[8904]: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=0c:0c:0b:14:cd:98 reason=0 Dec 21 19:43:30 freebsd kernel: wlan0: link state changed to DOWN Dec 21 19:43:32 freebsd wpa_supplicant[8904]: Trying to associate with 0c:0c:0b:14:cd:98 (SSID='WLAN' freq=2472 MHz) Dec 21 19:43:32 freebsd wpa_supplicant[8904]: Associated with 0c:0c:0b:14:cd:98 Dec 21 19:43:32 freebsd kernel: wlan0: link state changed to UP Dec 21 19:43:32 freebsd wpa_supplicant[8904]: WPA: Key negotiation completed with 00:1a:4f:93:4a:97 [PTK=CCMP GTK=CCMP] Dec 21 19:43:32 freebsd wpa_supplicant[8904]: CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 0c:0c:0b:14:cd:98 completed (reauth) [id=0 id_str=] And the first time this occurs, my first alias (ifconfig_wlan0_alias0 192.168.0.201) is lost and not listed in "ifconfig wlan0" anymore. If this occurs another time, nothing happens and my second alias ifconfig_wlan0_alias1 is still alive.

Well, in "production" setup I'm using the 1st alias for a jail with my mailsserver. And every time I lost this alias, I can't connect to/from my mailserver :-/ If anyone else has this problem too... As a workaround I'm defining my aliases like: | ifconfig_wlan0_alias0="inet 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.255" | ifconfig_wlan0_alias1="inet 192.168.0.201 netmask 255.255.255.255" | ifconfig_wlan0_alias2="inet 192.168.0.202 netmask 255.255.255.255" And I don't use "192.168.0.200" anywhere. Thus it doesn't matter if I lost this alias. -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Sun, 23 Dec 2012 19:00:00 GMT > Von: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org > An: Carsten Wiedmann <carsten_sttgt@gmx.de> > Betreff: Re: kern/174661: lost alias on wlan interface > Thank you very much for your problem report. > It has the internal identification `kern/174661'. > The individual assigned to look at your > report is: freebsd-bugs. > > You can access the state of your problem report at any time > via this link: > > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=174661 > > >Category: kern > >Responsible: freebsd-bugs > >Synopsis: lost alias on wlan interface > >Arrival-Date: Sun Dec 23 19:00:00 UTC 2012
