One more step is needed to make the 'tun' interface work for those who compiled their own kernel:

before you can do a 'ifconfig tun0 ...' you gotta

1) apt-get install uml-utilities ( this contains 'tunctl' command which we're gonna need )
2) tunctl -u 'user' -t tun0 ( to create the 'tun0' interface owned by 'user' )
3) only then 'ifconfig tun0 10.0.0.1 up' will work, otherwise you'll get

utumno:/# ifconfig tun0 10.0.0.1 up
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
tun0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
tun0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

See

for a longer description of this problem.



BTW, this comment-submission scripts are a bit buggy, man. I cannot type a '>' , I gotta type '& g t' without the spaces. Also, there is a problem with pasting larger blocks of text...
