Two questions about devices that ifconfig shows...

What exactly is the "whitehole" device?

And is there any real reason for such high TX packet errors under ppp0
when I dial in? About a minute after dialing in, I already have over
50,000 errors.

A bit off topic, /proc/profile still does not exist, and the loop device
bug still exists and still causes a hard lock.
