The entire patch has exactly one change which is visiable to the userland unless the user changes their behavior. That change is that when you do "ifconfig stf create" ifconfig does not output "stf0" and the interface created is named "sft" instead of "stf0". This is a result of a minor change that allows you to create "6to4" a more aptly named interface. This change is mostly an example of how to write new style interface cloners that's easier to understand then the vlan version which was the motivation for this overhaul. The vlan change allows vlan interfaces to work exactly like they did before. It just adds some sugar so that the following sets of commands are equivalent: ifconfig xl0.2 vlanif=`ifconfig vlan create` ifconfig $vlanif name xl0.2 ifconfig xl0.2 vlandev xl0 vlantag 2 -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
