Hmm... unfortunately, this should work fine in -CURRENT and stable/12, but =
the
patch will not go to stable/11 and did not make it into 12.1. The merged
tuntap(4) will create a dev alias for the different name:

root@viper:/usr/src# ifconfig tap create name port1
port1
root@viper:/usr/src# ls -l /dev | grep tap
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel        4 Nov  7 07:52 port1 -> tap0
crw-------  1 uucp  dialer    0x60 Nov  7 07:52 tap0

I do not have any insight into how -virtualization would prefer to proceed,=
 but
this is news from the tun/tap side. =3D-)
