early attaching tap0

[Arno J. Klaassen]

Hello,

ehmm, i hesitate writing to this list since I'm really
not a hacker, but I have a problem I seemingly cannot
resolve :

I would like the "device tap" entry of my kernel-config
to create and open an ethernet-device, rather
than just initialising the necessary kernel structures.

I made the following diff (needs "COPTFLAGS = -O -pipe -DTAP_INIT_ETHER"
since I do not know how to implement correctly
a kernel option ...) :

A kernel with this patch boots OK single user, but when going
multi-user it panics randomly
(sorry Thomas for blaming atapicam, I thouht I doublechecked
outcommenting COPTFLAGS before contacting you, I'm not sure
I did everything well ...)

I made similar changes to -stable and RELENG_5_2 which work
OK (i.e. no panics, stable system), but against -current
I am in the mist.
If ever someone has a quick idea about what I am doing wrong,
thanx a lot in advance.

Regards, Arno
