[Openvpn-devel] Automatically set parameters for a tap device.

Hi, 

I'm currently building a Windows installer for a debian/coLinux based
embedded toolchain.

For internet access I'm using the slirp daemon which is a zero
configuration solution and is working great. But for local access I have
to use a tap device.

My problem is, while I can install the driver without a problem, I have
no idea how to configure the network interface. I need to find an unused
private subnet and set the IP address of the tap device. Since Windows
enumerates the devices in a way, I haven't seen through yet, I can't do
this with netsh.

Is there an easy way to install the tuntap driver and set up the
interface address with openvpn?

Or is there another way to reliably get a local connection configured?
(XP and Win2k).

Is it also possible to automatically configure bridging?


Thanks in advance

Juergen Hennerich
