[strongSwan] Using TAP interface for strongswan

[Pawel Grzesik]

As I remember the native IPsec stack of the Linux 2.6 kernel does not create any special ipsec interfaces but I think you can do this by creating bind the virtual eth0 interface directly to a tap device on the host.

Thanks,
Pawel Grzesik
