RE: SIOCAIFADDR: File Exists on network startup

["Roelker, Daniel J." <Daniel.Roelker@jhuapl.edu>]

The default ipf rules are installed.

pass out from any to any
pass in from any to any

two network interfaces:

hostname.fxp0
inet 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 NONE
hostname.rl0
inet 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.0 NONE

I tried changing the netmask on rl0 to 255.255.0.0 and it doesn't give me
the SIOCAIFADDR: File Exists.

The exact error is on startup:
starting network
ifconfig: SIOCAIFADDR: File Exists

As for routing, the routing table only includes routes from the fxp0
interface.  rl0 is shutdown effectively.  So it possibly could be a routing
problem.  I haven't changed any of the netstart code, do I need too?

dan, could you follow up to the list with your /etc/ipf.rules and
whatnot?
