Severity: normal

Hi...  

diald can use either SLIP or ethertap devices.  However, kernel developers
consider ethertap devices obsolete in the 2.4 kernel.  It was replaced with
the Universal TUN/TAP driver.  diald and its config scripts know nothing
about these forcing the user to build the obsolete ethertap module into
the 2.4 kernel.

Shouldn't diald and its scripts handle both for users of the 2.2 and 2.4 
kernels?
