Ok, but what if i only want to use tun0 and don't care
for the other devices....
Why suggest LINT and GENERIC that you can configure a number
of these devices?
GENERIC:
# Pseudo devices - the number indicates how many units to allocated.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
pseudo-device tun # Packet tunnel.
pseudo-device bpf #Berkeley packet filter
IMHO should this not be something like:
# Pseudo devices - Dynamically generated.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
pseudo-device tun # Packet tunnel.
pseudo-device bpf #Berkeley packet filter

Andre
