Have you tried unloading and loading the tun driver again ?

Were there any changes to the environment that a recompilation of the driver
would help ?

This is how it looks here (b133, just compiled tun/tap driver):

# ls -l /dev/tun
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2010-03-05 07:50 /dev/tun ->
../devices/pseudo/cl...@0:tun

# ls -l /devices/pseudo/clo...@0:tun
crw------- 1 root sys 11, 292 2010-03-05 07:51 /devices/pseudo/cl...@0:tun

# dmesg
