      I have a GIF defined to HE.net but at the moment it has no interface assigned. I get this error in the system log on boot:

      Nov 28 09:30:45 	php: rc.bootup: The command '/sbin/ifconfig gif0 tunnel '216.228.221.42'' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ifconfig: 'tunnel' requires 2 arguments'

      Then I assigned an interface, but not enabled, rebooted, same error message.

      Now I have enabled the interface (OPT9) and rebooted again. Error message now appears twice:

      Nov 28 10:23:24 	kernel: tun2: changing name to 'ovpnc2'
Nov 28 10:23:23 	kernel: tun1: changing name to 'ovpnc1'
Nov 28 10:23:23 	kernel:
Nov 28 10:23:23 	php: rc.bootup: Resyncing OpenVPN instances.
Nov 28 10:23:23 	kernel: done.

Nov 28 10:23:23 	kernel: done.

Nov 28 10:23:18 	check_reload_status: Linkup starting vr2
Nov 28 10:23:15 	kernel: vr2: link state changed to DOWN
Nov 28 10:23:15 	check_reload_status: Linkup starting vr2

      Sorry, I don't have any real IPv6 configured at the moment, so I can't really see if the HE.net tunnel really works.
      Is this a real problem, or just my config settings somewhere?
