what package is this for?
Comment 3 Daniel Black (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-16 01:04:25 UTC 
for the linux kernel? What are the advantages of having an IPIP tun device? Have you submitted this to the linux kernel devs?
Comment 4 INODE64 Sistemas 2005-01-16 15:08:49 UTC 
Yes, is for gentoo-dev-sources and tun developer (But I do not know if it will be accepted)
Tunnes device is for openvpn or uml and others tools,
The device is not correctely defined
Comment 5 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-01-17 16:36:07 UTC 
Please send this through the upstream maintainers (see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/SubmittingPatches). If it gets accepted then it will magically appear in the gentoo-dev-sources tree :)
