ifconfig does something like search for AIX support (or something else you
aren't running- alan explained this at one point), and so the kernel asks
kerneld if it knows what ifconfig's talking about. the above is
kerneld's response (i can't find it).
all it means is ifconfig was looking for something it didn't find (and
probably didn't need). to get rid of the messages, just add
alias net-pf-3 off
alias net-pf-4 off
alias net-pf-5 off
to your /etc/modules.conf

Why Linux? source code. POSIX. tcpip. job control. support from the authors.
drivers for most hardware. because one terminal or process is never enough.
forget the other O/Ss, i use Linux- the choice of a GNU generation.
