I have just built a Sparc Ultra 2 with Debian/unstable and a locally compiled 2.6.3 kernel. I am trying to run openvpn, which requires use of the tun device. I set up /dev/net/tun as noted in the kernel documentation, but when I try to bring the device up by hand, I get [root@neghvar net]# ifconfig tun0 up tun0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device When I boot 2.4.24, the device works fine. Am I missing some software that 2.6 requires or is it broken? I searched on google for anything regarding this issue, but the only thing I found was a two-message thread on the kernel list saying "tun is broken on 2.6.3" and "no its not, I'm using it" with very few details. Any suggestions? Thanks, -- --Brad ======================================================================== Bradley M.
