Default Re: tap driver

I've successfully added the tap device with these files to my 3.3 stable
box,
after adding a bogus tapkqfilter() function in if_tap.c (dirrrty!)
(described here: http://news.gw.com/comp.unix.bsd.openbsd.misc/36476 )
but now i'm stuck at adding the device nodes for it.

is there any chance that we will see the tun device getting an ifconfig flag
for
switching between network to data-link mode(tap mode)?
i read something about it on the lists a while ago.

Greetings,

// Redmar Kerkhoff
