I have the driver compiled into the kernel.

the Tun/tap driver doesn't have support for sysfs or hotplug; so what
would loading the driver (as a module) buy me?

What kernel are you using?  I think we added netfilter devices in 2.6.4.
I know my /dev has all of the tap* devices in it and I'm using udev :)

thanks,

Ah cool; I'm using 2.6.3.  I'll check out the differences in tun.c
