I've recompiled my kernel again, and now my IP Masq is still working, but i
still get this message when using ifconfig :

[root@linux /root]# ifconfig sl0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 27.137.19.255
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device

I'm sure i compiled slip in the kernel.

What could be the problem ? the sl0 does not exist in /dev
