I'm trying to implement an IPSEC tunnel using a gif device.  I've got the
pseudo-device gif listed in my kernel file, yet after I built the new
kernel, installed it and rebooted, the gif0 device does not exist.

If its of any consequence, I cvsup'ped and built the world to 4-STABLE
yesterday.  I'm using IPFW for my firewall, and have all the
pseudo-devices listed, plus bpf.

# The `bpf' pseudo-device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter.
pseudo-device   bpf             #Berkeley packet filter



$ifconfig -l
dc0 dc1 ppp0 sl0 faith0 faith1 faith2 lo0

$gifconfig gif0 inet a.b.c.d w.x.y.z
gifconfig: interface gif0 does not exist

Any clues?
