Hi Cornelius, 

thanks again, openvpn is now working.

I created the directory with the following lines in the file system:

.../packages/filesystem/Makefile

--------------------------------------------------------
        
        ...
        $(INSTALL) $(OWN) -d            $(prefix)/mnt/flash/net
        
        ...
        ln -sfn /mnt/flash/net          $(prefix)/dev/net

----------------------------------------------------------

/dev/net is now read/write in the flash memory. 


>      mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200

After doing mknod a vpn connection using openvpn could be established. 
Success so far. 

I am not really sure, whether /dev/net should be created in flash 
or in RAM memory (excessive read/write cycles reducing flash life time?). 

Regards

Klaus
