Description:
This is the [B]ag [O]f [N]etgraph [E]xtensions utilities package is an evolving set of extra netgraph(4) utilities to simplify using the kernel modules in net/bone-kmods. Additionally it provides a very simple rc(8) script which re-names interfaces to match whatever you named them in your ngctl.conf. At present this module provides the following: * netgraph rc(8) script that keeps ifconfig(8)/ngctl(8) in agreement on nodes that present a network interface (ng_eiface(4), ng_ether(4), ng_iface(4)). * jeiface script to create an ng_eiface(4) in a jail giving it the name and optional MAC you request. * ncpcap(8) connectes to nodes to capture traffic. It is meant to have its output piped to tcpdump(1) * ngportal(8) is the fast and simple way to connect to vnets using netgraph. See manpages for more details and example usage. This package needs the correct version of net/bone-kmods for your system. Most users want the default flavor: pkg install bone-kmods If you built your kernel with INVARIANTS (the default in CURRENT), use the @invariants flavor: pkg install bone-kmods-invariants

For install:
If you choose to enable netgraph in your rc.conf, don't forget to add the following to your loader.conf: netgraph_load="YES" ng_ether_load="YES" If those are not loaded before any physical network interface drivers, they will not be available for ngctl(8) to configure.

net/bone-utils: Add port

This is the [B]ag [O]f [N]etgraph [E]xtensions utilities package is an evolving
set of extra netgraph(4) utilities to simplify using the kernel modules in
net/bone-kmods. Additionally it provides a very simple rc(8) script which
re-names interfaces to match whatever you named them in your ngctl.conf.

At present this module provides the following:
* netgraph rc(8) script that keeps ifconfig(8)/ngctl(8) in agreement on nodes
  that present a network interface (ng_eiface(4), ng_ether(4), ng_iface(4)).
* jeiface script to create an ng_eiface(4) in a jail giving it the name and
  optional MAC you request.
* ncpcap(8) connectes to nodes to capture traffic. It is meant to have its
  output piped to tcpdump(1)
* ngportal(8) is the fast and simple way to connect to vnets using netgraph.
