Dear reader, 

we are running a NetBSD/amd64 system on NetBSD 6.1.1. There is a strange phenomenon with a wm network card. For a particular set of reasons, that interface is configured to ten aliases. Sporadically, it loses one of them — the one with the highest IP number. No entry in any log that I could find, no diagnostic information. It just responds to the IP number, and ifconfig wm0 also no longer shows the interface being configured to that. 

What can I do to investigate why this happens, or rather: what can I do to stop that from happening? 

Thank you,
 Konrad
