 You do mean the GNU ones, yeah ? Because they insist on being awkward,
and spend more time on the info pages ?

 It turned out to be a problem with the way I was looking at it. I was
trying to create an interface "ep0:1" as you would on linux/solaris. Turns
out that freebsd keeps the name of the interface, just aliases the IP.
