Yes AFAIK tun.ko is one of the cases where /etc/modules is still needed. As you wrote the autodetection is for harwdare modules - and tun.ko isn't a hardware module.

(But don't count on me - after eight years using LEAF, I don't change my habits adding modules etc easily, so I may be behind the actual development.

All feedback is good, and good feedback is very good :-) Andrew gets all the credit for the auto-detection and loading. kp has it right for tun.ko at the moment. We have some Trac tickets which would improve matters: o http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/leaf/ticket/13 would install the .ko file for any entry in /etc/modules during auto-detection so avoiding the need to extract and copy the file manually. o http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/leaf/ticket/2 would let us define and then auto-load Modules required by specific Packages. There is an outline design in the Trac comments but other enhancements seem more important right now - like PXE booting and the ones kp mentioned. dMb -- Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.

Hi everybody, since my old Wrap box was starting to die on me, I replaced it with an Alix box, and in the process, gave Bering uClibc 4.0 Beta 3 a try. I have to say, the installation was very smooth. The Find load modules for hardware is _very_ nice, and took away the usual hassle of finding out which modules (and dependencies) are needed for getting wlan to work (I use an atheros based card, and was a little worried about the switch from madwifi to ath5k). But everything worked beautifully, once I got rid of the inevitable typos that I'd put into the config. My setup isn't terribly complicated - cable connection to the internet, one internal wired network, one internal wlan net, and an OpenVPN connection. Thanks to all the developers who put this together, and special thanks to all those who worked on the docs in the wiki - even if it's not complete yet, I think it's the best documentation leaf has ever had. Just one question - I need tun.ko for my OpenVPN setup. Is this one of the cases where one still needs to add an entry to /etc/modules? It didn't get loaded by default, and after I added an entry to /etc/modules, things started working, but I'm not sure if there's a better way.
