Hey Toke, Regarding POINTTOPOINT flag in Linux vs FreeBSD -- apparently FreeBSD routes everything differently simply by virtue of the interface having that flag, whereas on Linux, PTP routing mode is only switched on if you actually add an address with a dest peer. So for FreeBSD, the different routing seemed somewhat disruptive, so I stopped setting that flag in a recent snapshot release.
Hey Stefan, Looking at bird's source code (iface.c), it looks like bird will only look at IFF flags if you fail to specify the interface type in the config file. Can you try *not changing to link1/ptp mode* and then setting the type flag in your bird config? Specifically: interface <interface pattern> [instance <num>] { ... type [broadcast|bcast|pointopoint|ptp| nonbroadcast|nbma|pointomultipoint|ptmp]; If you set `type ptmp` or `type nbma` or something, and see if that will do the trick for you? I'd like to _not_ release this link1 hack/trick if possible. Thanks, Jason
