ifconfig tun(N) destroy does not work !

Hi all,
 
maybe I haven´t read something what I souhld read it, and if it is true I am
sorry for anoying you.
 
Let me ask you for tun devices.
 
roztyly# ifconfig tun1 destroy
ifconfig: SIOCIFDESTROY: Invalid argument

I found out from manual page tun(4) that:
 
"These network interfaces persist until the if_tun.ko module is unloaded (if
tun is built into your kernel, the network interfaces cannot be removed)."
 
Of course the generic kernel defines "device tun", so I commented the line
and recompiled the kernel.
 
After that, I tried again "destroy command" and with no changes.
 
I tried "create command" and the same error message happens.

It seems automatic loading if_tun.ko and if_gif.ko works well.
 
Opposite to tun device is gif device which works fine:

I use tspc2 (freenet6) port, and of course the starting/stopping scripts
deos not work as you and me expect. :(
