Hi,

I try to get openVPN on a small Linux-System (2.4.22)
I compiled the tun-module and openvpn, and "insmod tun" worked fine.
But if I try so set up the net-Device with ifconfig, ifconfig can't find the device:
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFMTU: No such device
SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device

The Linux-System have no modules.conf, so how can I say ifconfig that it must use the tun module for the net-Device?


Thanks in advance

Markus

Does the tun device exist in the /dev directory? It should either be in the root of /dev or /dev/net. If it does not exist, try the command below.

<x-tad-bigger>make device node: mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200</x-tad-bigger>
