I don't ask since when it has been called or how many people type ifconfig ctau0 every day (though I will write a script like network-on.sh instead). It seems that you are using `ct' for the abbreviation of `ctau'. Then, I request not to use `ct' for the name of the driver and the man page. I don't care whether `ct' name is used for ifconfig or not but reqeust to not to use it for the driver name and the man page. // Noriaki Mitsunaga //
