tun0, firewall, natd

[Christoph Kukulies]

Somehow I haven´t yet managed to get my FreeBSD 5.2 current system
boot up smoothly with initiatiying the network properly.

I´m running ADSL and tun0 doesn´t seem to be initialized when the firewall
rules are being applied and when natd ist started.

I´m getting an error socket not available or cannot bind or something
like that early on tun0.

Also sendmail (kqread) hangs very long after it times out due to DNS
not being available.

When I start natd manually after the system has come up that way (with the
DNS timeouts and all that) it works fine but this situation is not
tolerable in the long run since manual intervention isn´t possible in all
situations.

I´d appreciate some help here. Thank you.
