Any net device outside of the initial network namespace does not appear in sysfs. (I believe this was finally fixed in 2.6.35.) The tun driver attempts to register additional device attributes that appear in sysfs, and it hits this BUG because the net device itself doesn't appear in sysfs. We should be able to avoid the crash, but since the tun device will not be visible in sysfs it might not work completely.
