basesrc/sbin/ifconfig [netbsd-1-5]: ifconfig.8 ifconfig.c
Log Message:
- Add `tunnel' and `deletetunnel' commands, which issue the ioctls
that gifconfig(8) would issue to configure tunnel endpoints. This
allows IP tunnel interfaces (`gif' right now, and `gre' later) to
be configured with ifconfig(8), and via /etc/ifconfig.<interface>.
Partially taken from similar changes in OpenBSD.
- Const poison the command functions a bit. We really need to clean
up the command function interface.
Rationale for pulling into netbsd-1-5 branch: While this looks like
a feature enhancement, it actually fixes a bug -- without this change
or a change in rc.d's network bring-up, it is not possible to configure
IP tunnels as a normal part of bringing up the network.
