Ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address

arogerm

Hello:
After upgrading to 2.1-RELEASE (i386) one of the 5 NICs firewall does not work.
The only mistake that I see in the firewall is
php: / interfaces.php: The command '/ sbin / ifconfig' re0 'inet delete' returned exit code '1 ', the output was' ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can not assign requested address'
This card should have the IP 192 168 129 254 MASK 255.255.255.0 and gateway is 192.168.129.1
If you do a ping to the card, responds, but if you do ping the gateway, this don't respond
Changing the settings so that you get the IP address by DHCP, the router will assign an IP 192.168.129.x and gateway 192.168.1.1, but the result is the same, you can ping the card but not the router.
If I put a PC directly to the router, this assigns IP and you can ping the gateway and navigate Ok.

Just to bump this as I'm also getting this error since I plugged the wan into a new router with dhcp on the router.

AMD64 2.1 release with openvpn.

Edit:
Should add that going into the wan interface and clicking save then apply brings the nic back up again, so a sort of work around but not ideal for the hours its down until its checked and the above action carried out.

Gonna try it without openvpn servers installed and see if that makes a difference for now as openvpn isnt essential for the next few weeks.

Edit2
Dont know if this is relevent
