[PATCH net-next-2.6] Documentation/networking/l2tp.txt: update documentation.

[PATCH net-next-2.6] Documentation/networking/l2tp.txt: update documentation.

Hi,

This patch updates Documentation/networking/l2tp.txt.
Stephen Hemminger (maintainer of iproute2) rejected patches for
iproute2 which enable
"ip l2tp" commands. There is a utility called l2tpv3tun which
has commands to doing the same (managing static L2TPv3 tunnel).
see:

I wish you would stop whining about it and just reimplement
without using libnl as requested.

Seriously.

David, I'm not applying a patch where you complain about
a problem which you have self-inflicted upon yourself.

Stephen's request was beyond reasonable, and you're just
being unnecessarily difficult.

Hi,
My intention was just to fix the documentation so it will reflect
the current situation, where you cannot use "ip l2tp", but there
is an alternative (though temporary probably). It could take
time till this will be available in iproute2. That's all.
