Description:   Opened: 2004-05-19 09:17 0000 
I couldn't get vtund to work with 2.6 at all.  Error in /var/log/messages said
unable to load tun device.  I found a broken link in my /dev, and then found
the exact solution in the debian mailing lists. 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-danish/2003/09/msg00027.html

The solution is to add this block to the /etc/devfsd.conf:

# Create compatibility link for broken misc/net/tun driver (must uncomment the
# MKOLDCOMPAT for misc above if you want to use this)
REGISTER        ^misc/net/tun$  CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink   net/tun
REGISTER        ^misc/net/tun$  CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink  /dev/$devname net/tun

devfsd bug, not a kernel bug.

btw...  MKOLDCOMPAT is already turned on in our devfsd.conf
