G'day All,
I've had a weird bug in either the network tools while I was switch
from using the ifconfig type settings to the ip settings (ip is so much
nicer).
It seems if you ifconfig a tunnel (say sit1) and then ifconfig sit1 down
and then try to build a tunnel using ip tunnel add the tunnel doesn't
get built at all; no errors, no nothing. ip should at the very least
complain.
I am unsure where this bug should go as I don't know enough about
the tools and the kernel to know who's fault it is.
