           Summary: ifup: support non-tap names for TAP interfaces
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.1
           Version: Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Network
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com
        ReportedBy: jengelh@medozas.de
         QAContact: qa@suse.de
          Found By: Beta-Customer

Creating a tap interface with a non-tap name, such as
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-foo2:

STARTMODE=onboot
BOOTPROTO=static
TUNNEL=tap

and `ifup foo2` will produce this error:

Interface foo2 is not available

Reason for that is that /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/functions function
is_iface_available checks for the interface name "tap*" instead of the
TUNNEL=tap declaration.
