Summary: tun driver fails to open when built in, must be modular
Kernel Version: 2.6.10-rc2
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Owner: jgarzik@pobox.com
Submitter: bill@crowellsystems.com
Distribution: slackware/mfxlinux
Hardware Environment:i386
Software Environment:
Problem Description: kernel will not assign/open a tun device when tun.o is
compiled as a built-in. ifconfig gives 'unable to open /dev/net/tun' error.
compiling as a module fixes.
Steps to reproduce:
Compile kernel with tun/tap device driver as a built-in. Run ifconfig to see
error. recompile as a module, modprobe tun and run ifconfig - no error.
