I have tried with both kernel 2.2.13 and 2.2.14 and I cannot find the
choice to select for ethertap using either "make config" or "make
menuconfig". I finally modified the /usr/src/linux/.config file manually
by adding either the line "CONFIG_ETHERTAP=y" or "CONFIG_ETHERTAP=m".
With the module option, I could install the ethertap.o module by hand, and
see in /proc/net/dev that I have lo, eth0 and tap0. But when I tried
/sbin/ifconfig /dev/tap0 192.168.0.1 I get the error:-
SIOCSIFADDR: Operation not supported by device
/dev/tap0: unknown interface: Operation not supported by device
I have /dev/tap0 (made with mknod /dev/tap0 c 36 16) as ls -al /dev/tap0
shows
0 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 36, 16 Jun 4 20:52 /dev/tap0
When I make a kernel with "CONFIG_ETHERTAP=y" I could not even see the
tap0 line in /proc/net/dev; and /sbin/ifconfig shows the same error.
I would be grateful if someone can tell me where I have gone wrong.
Thanks
