freebsd stable - Jun 2012 - How to bind a route to a network adapter and not IP

Hi,

Maybe there is a simple answer, but how do I bind a route to a network 
interface in 8-stable? Is that possible at all? I'm asking because the
routes
I add in my network setup are lost because of ARP packet drops. I.E. they 
exist for a while, but not forever like I want to.

--HPS

Perhaps you can ask the very same question in another way so its easier
to understand why you losing packets? All in all I always thought TCP/IP 
was the basic unit in Internet based networking but feel free to correct 
me if you have any news I might have missed... :)

Also do you have any idea why AMD based CPUs could be vulnerable to this 
alternative networking scheme and cause a remote denial service in fbsd 
stable but not in CURRENT?

Thanks,

Etienne

Is route add x.x.x.x -iface em0   what you want?

Hi,

I loose packets because I use a WLAN adapter. Sometimes the link is down for 
various reasons, and then the routes start changing for manually created 
routes, and I want to prevent that.

well that is certainly not a reason for changing routes

I have the feeling you are not explaining good enough what really is
going on and it may help sending your configurations and an example of
routes and IP addresses before and after this route change
