Hi, I have taken a closer look at this. Here is what seems to be happening now I have udev installed. Kernel calls hotplug misc (tun is a misc device) hotplug calls udev udev names tun net/tun, and as it now thinks it is a net device, calls hotplug tun And then the warning message is printed, because tun is a misc device, not a net device I ask again, where is the bug? What function that should occur isn't occuring? What function that shouln't occur is occuring? In udev thinking tun is a net device? In hotplug exiting (cleanly) because it was asked to configre tun as a net device? This is all user space. The kernel invokes hotplug misc, telling hotplug to deal with a userspace device. From there on it is out of the kernel's hands. -- Horms -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
