Seb,

If you could connect your laptop to SWAN via both ethernet and
WLAN using punchin, is there any reason why the command to
create tunnel should be any different (aside from the IP addresses)?

Ideally I'd be able to have the same IP address for both the LAN
and WLAN connection (maybe it would be assigned to me by an
802.1x box) but that's probably wishful thinking.  But it would
allow the tunnel to survive while I change from one network
medium to another.

The latter is something that's perhaps more easily done at
home, if you have the same box issuing DHCP addresses for
your WLAN as well as LAN, where you might desire to use the
same IP address for both MAC addresses as they belong to
the same laptop.

I'd almost go so far as to say that having any hard wired
association between a tunnel and a link device, whether it
is in the kernel or supplied by the user, is likely to get
in the way of making things easy to use in the future.

Which leads me to wonder if there will be a functionality
regression here by requiring that there be a fixed association
between a link device and a tunnel?
