--- Comment #3 from Bjoern A. Zeeb <b...@freebsd.org> ---
The patch seems to work more by accident because the kernel side adds an IFF_UP
and IFF_UP is in the TUN_VMIO_FLAG_MASK set:
{{{
case VMIO_SIOCSIFFLAGS: /* VMware/VMnet SIOCSIFFLAGS */
iflags = *(int *)data;
iflags &= TUN_VMIO_FLAG_MASK;
iflags &= ~IFF_CANTCHANGE;
iflags |= IFF_UP;
}}}
What's the actual error you get? "Could open socket"?
I think the real solution is to make the code "advisory" and not to error out
in case it cannot UP the interface in that case?
