>Description:

	If if_tun.ko is loaded over a kernel containing a tunnel driver
	compiled in, "ppp -auto" does not work, although running ppp straight
	does.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Build a kernel with the line
		pseudo-device   tun     1
	in its config file and boot it.

	Run the following commands
		kldload if_tun.ko
		ppp -auto some_host

	Try to ping the remote end of the PPP link.  Expect an error like
	"host is down."

>Fix:
	
	Beyond "don't do that," I don't know what to do about the problem.
	It wouldn't be so bad if it weren's such a sneaky problem.
