Date: Thu, 06 Dec 2001 15:49:53 +0000 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm trying to do some IPSec between a FreeBSD box and a hardware VPN device, with little success. However I just read (on the daemonnews site) that for tunnel mode I need to use the gif device. Yet I cannot get the thing to work. If I try "gifconfig gif0 inet src addr" then I get the error "gifconfig: interface gif0 does not exist" This with the generic kernel. I must be missing something extremely obvious here but I can't see what it is. MAKEDEV doesn't know anything about it.
