/dev/net/tun0 wont exist until module "tun" is loaded.

If you wish to setup a tun device, I've created a small and raw howto for my 
own use on what works for me. Should give you a decent start...

First off, kernel needs tun networking support compiled in and module loaded. 

"eth0" =host device connected to lan 
"/etc/rc.d/init.d" = path to init scripts
adjust as needed

		Setup Masquerade 

Run in terminal as root:
	# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE 
	#/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables save

		Sanity check
	#/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables start
	#/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables status

Rule "Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)" 
 should contain:
	"MASQUERADE  all  --  anywhere             anywhere"

		Create Ifup scripts

1- Create file: /etc/qemu-ifup 

#!/bin/sh
sudo /sbin/ifconfig $1 <ip address>
sudo /etc/qemu-iptables
#end 

2- #chmod 777 /etc/qemu-ifup

3- Create file /etc/qemu-iptables

#!/bin/sh
/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables stop
echo "1" >&/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables start
#/usr/sbin/dhcpd -q tun0
#end

4- #chmod 777 /etc/qemu-iptables
