I create it and it did not work.
I use this ifconig-command:
ifconfig tap 172.16.4.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1300 up

it also failed if I use tap0, tun0 or tun


I created a new modules.conf:
-------                alias char-major-10-200 tun
alias tap0 tun
--------

and now, If i do the ifconfig-command "ifconfig tap0 172.16.4.10 netmask 
255.255.255.0 mtu 1300 up"
Linux loads automaticly the module tun, but the same error appears!
