No, this means that ifconfig's destory argument doesn't work with tun interfaces. The tun interface needs to be convered to use the pseudo-interface cloning infrastructure, but so far, it hasn't happened. I've taken a look at it a a few times, but the current auto creation code is really incompatable with the way cloning works which makes it problematic. -- Brooks
