Package: uml-utilities
Version: 20040114-1
Severity: minor
I've been experimenting with udev, and discovered that it seems to move
the tunnel device from /dev/net/tun to /dev/tun, causing the creation of a
tap device to fail when ifupdown is being used. I fixed this by modifying
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/uml-utilities as follows:
=============
test -x /usr/sbin/tunctl || exit 0
test -n "${IF_TUNCTL_USER}" || exit 0
modprobe tun
/usr/sbin/tunctl -u "${IF_TUNCTL_USER}" -t "${IFACE}" -f /dev/tun
#
# why the hell does this need to be done?
#
chown root:uml-net /dev/tun
chmod 660 /dev/tun
==============
Probably a general solution would do something like this at the top:
test -c /dev/net/tun && TUN_DEV=/dev/net/tun || TUN_DEV=/dev/tun
and then use TUN_DEV everywhere.

Hello,
as reported on Nov 16th 2004 it seems this bug was gone some time ago.
Udev creates /dev/net/tun nowadays:
# ls /dev/net/tun
ls: /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory
# modprobe tun
# ls /dev/net/tun
/dev/net/tun
bye
