wait_for_sysfs warnings

Hi!

I just noticed this warning in my syslog:

Nov  3 11:12:43 matilda wait_for_sysfs[1848]: either wait_for_sysfs (udev 042) needs an update to handle the device '/class/net/vpn-tinc' properly (no device symlink) or the sysfs-support of your device's driver needs to be fixed, please report to <linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>

I occurs when I bring up tinc, a VPN daemon (see
http://www.tinc-vpn.org/).  "vpn-tinc" is the name of the associated
network interface.

I am using a vanilla 2.6.7 kernel on Debian unstable with udev 0.042-1.

FYI, tinc uses the Universal TUN/TAP driver. To see how tinc interacts
with the tun device, see:
