By the way, as I have never used sl(4) nor strip(4), I wonder what
clonification changed, beside the fact that the user has to create the
interface by hand.  My reading of slattach.c seems to indicate that
currently (and independently from the fact that sl(4) is clonable) there
is no way to tell for sure which interface it has attached to.

Am I correct?
