unfortunately I didn't take note of the symbols and now that my current

I'm using 2.2.13
I have the option to build ethertap as a module or to build it into the
kernel.
I thought perhaps that if it were a module it might accept parameters from
insmod indicating the number of devices to support. Otherwise I can't see
why I get tap0 but not tap1
I've created the appropriate dev file so I don't suppose that's the problem
