I don't exactly know why it tries to load if_tap when it is already present,
but FreeBSD should not allow it to be double-linked into the kernel. I
created a patch that (hopefully ;) disallows this. You can find it at :
http://hobbes.bsd-dk.dk/~npp/kern_linker.patch
I would appreciate if you have the time to test this to see if it aborts the
loading correctly. I know it's not exactly the real fix but it should stop
some panics.
Could you also test if unloading the if_tap module panic's the system ? This
should ofcourse be tested without my patch and preferably when a tap device
is in use.
