kldload ng_iface at least

it should be loaded automatically if you add the line shown below..

ngctl name  sync_ar0:rawdata fr-mux

replace the next line with..
#ngctl mkpeer fr-mux: lmi dlci0 ansi

and add:
ngctl name fr-mux:dlci0 lmi

>>> #ngctl mkpeer sync_ar0:rawdata rfc1490 dlci16 rfc1490

this could be replaved by:
ngctl mkpeer fr-mux: rfc1490 dlci16 downstream

this line is totally confused..

should be:
ngctl name fr-mux:dlci16 protomux
ngctl mkpeer protomux: iface inet inet

now you can add the ip addresses..

sorry I didn't read it better several days ago..
