It works! This is definitely a bug in Fedora Core Development, then. I've
been wondering all along, but now I know that :
- The ctc module doesn't get loaded automatically, 1st bug
- The TYPE= of the ctc interface is wrong, as you reported, 2nd bug

I've verified that fixing only one of the two bugs is never enough, both
must be solved before the ctc0 interface can come up.

Thanks a lot for your help!
