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 gregkh@gentoo.org 2004-06-21 13:59:35 0000 devfsd bug, not a kernel bug. stevenwagner@gmail.com 2004-08-20 15:34:00 0000 btw... MKOLDCOMPAT is already turned on in our devfsd.conf vapier@gentoo.org 2005-02-11 17:06:04 0000 added to cvs, sorry for the delay !
