Does anyone have this working? With devfs, you just need to try opening the device and you'll get it if it's not busy. You can also open /dev/tap and get an arbitrary one. This is due to tun(4) style cloning code I committed recently. I'm not actually sure this is the way we want to handle cloning hybrid devices, but there is precident so I committed the patch. I think we may want to move to a model were we use interface cloning rather then devfs cloning because it will work in stable. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
