The cloned_interfaces variable is for a cloned interface. The tap is not a cloned interface on 6.1-RELEASE, yet. However, still you can create tap0 by opening /dev/tap0. Try putting cp /dev/null /dev/tap0 into your /etc/rc.early. Sincerely, -- Hajimu UMEMOTO @ Internet Mutual Aid Society Yokohama, Japan ume@mahoroba.org ume@{,jp.}FreeBSD.org http://www.imasy.org/~ume/
