diald wants to use the ethertap device. You must compile it into your kernel
or as a module. Second you must update your conf.modules/modules.conf with
alias for tap0 .. tap15 (this is described in the diald documentation).

Know error can safely be ignored.

you must also include an alias for this in your conf.modules/modules.conf
file.
