SLIP bug:

FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE

When I use Startslip or Slattach on interface another than sl0 (-S unit_number)
then I have the next problems:

1) sl0 - escaped from system.

   ifconfig sl0      produces : ioctl no such interface.


2) netstat -nr gives correct routing, but sl0 is absent.

3) ping to installed link produces:  Network is down

4) After a 90 sec Routed cry: delete route to sl0 !!!
                                              ^^^

To my mind there is a problem in if_sl.c module.
