Hi all,
I am interested in vale(4) and see the vale-ctl
in /usr/src/tools/tools/netmap/vale-ctl.c. Given that it affects interface
cards and creates a virtual switch, is it appropriate to merge vale-ctl's
behavior into ifconfig? From a cursory code review, vale-ctl opens
/dev/netapi whereas ifconfig uses a socket(2).
Thoughts?
