Yes, tun0 is compiled into the kernel.

When i comment out the ifconfig line in /etc/sysconfig, i have
no more fault messages. But ppp does not work anymore. Running
ppp in auto mode, a ping to some.host gives : 'Network is down'

Is there something special to put into the ppp.conf file when
i'm not using the ifconfig line ?
