here the whole tun/tap part #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # TUN/TAP # For TUN/TAP support emerge net-misc/openvpn or sys-apps/usermode-utilities # # You must specify if we're a tun or tap device. Then you can give it any # name you like - such as vpn #tuntap_vpn="tun" #config_tun1=( "192.168.0.1/24") # Or stick wit the generic names - like tap0 #tuntap_tap0="tap" #config_tap0=( "192.168.0.1/24") # For passing custom options to tunctl use something like the following. This # example sets the owner to adm #tunctl_tun1="-u adm" # When using openvpn, there are no options #----------------------------------------------------------------------------- adding the folowing to /etc/conf.d/net doesn't work tuntap_vpn="tun" config_tun1=( "192.168.0.1/24") we should add insead tuntap_tun0="tun" config_tun0=( "192.168.0.1/24") and ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo to /etc/init.d net.tun0
So the only error is really config_tun1=( "192.168.0.1/24") as it should read config_vpn=( "192.168.0.1/24") The linkage of net.lo to net.vpn or net.tap0 is in the handbook and does not really belong in the config documentation imo. Anyway, the above is fixed in our SVN and will be in the next full release.
This should be fixed in baselayout-1.13.0_alpha11. Re-open if you disagree.
