Has anything changed with the usage of the tun device in 1.6?

I installed the 1.6_BETA snapshot on my box, using sysinst upgrade.

Now I can't see any tun devices with ifconfig(1). I built GENERIC and my custom kernel to confirm and both are missing tun. Since I'm a heavy VTUN user this is a pain for me, so now I'm running a 1.5.2 kernel on a 1.6_BETA install... still works too :)

One data point - after running config(1) against the kernel config file, I see the following for tun.h in the compile directory:

# cat /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC/tun.h
#define NTUN    1

Even though GENERIC defines: pseudo-device   tun             2

Maybe I should have a another coffee...???
