Recentry, gif cloning was MFC'ed. You don't need number of interfaces
anymore. Please refer your GENERIC.

You need gif creation first like `ifconfig gifN create'. It is done
automatically by rc.network. Please see /usr/src/UPDATING.

+ The gif(4) interface has been converted to use cloning
+ rather then allocating a static number of devices a compile
+ time. If you use gif interfaces and configure them by any
+ method other then setting standard variables in /etc/rc.conf

+ "ifconfig gifX create" before attempting to configure them.

+ See the ifconfig(8) man page and /etc/rc.network for more
+ information.
henk> Real strange gifconfig did work with an world from a few days ago.
Though gifconfig is still there, it is obsoleted by ifconfig. You can
do `ifconfig gifN tunnel me her'.
