DetailsDescription: When I try to start openvpn (the same way as always), rc.d reports success but no network interface is created and I can see the following in /var/log/everything.log (these are the last lines, I hope that's enough):

The culprit might be (?) an upgrade of iproute2 from 3.4.0-2 to 3.5.1-1 which I did on Tuesday. Steps to reproduce: # rc.d start openvpn # tail /var/log/everything.log |

Thanks, that solves it. I didn't use to have to do it but that probably can't be seen as a bug.
