Hi all, Sorry for the delay forwarding this email, but I don't find time to breath lately (and thus Oxygen does not make it to my brain :)
Hope it's an easy one. ----- Forwarded message from Robert de Bath <robert$@mayday.cix.co.uk> ----- From: Robert de Bath <robert$@mayday.cix.co.uk> Reply-To: Robert de Bath <robert$@mayday.cix.co.uk>, 182...@bugs.debian.org To: sub...@bugs.debian.org Subject: Bug#182020: openvpn needs dynamic choice on HAVE_LINUX_IF_TUN_H List-Post: openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Date: Sat, 22 Feb 2003 11:03:19 +0000 (GMT) X-URL: <http://www.cix.co.uk/~mayday> X-Dev86-Version: 0.16.10 Reply-By: 01 jan 2001 00:00:00 X-Message-Flag: Linux: The choice of a GNU generation.

This allow openvpn to work correctly with 2.4.18 kernels BUT it stops it working with 2.2.X kernels at all (with or without the tun kernel module from sourceforge) Options are: 1) Seperate compiles for 2.2.X and 2.4+ kernels, both binaries in the .deb 2) Patch tun.c to first check if /dev/net/tun exists and works before falling back to the open_tun_generic(..) function if it doesn't. I'm currently successfully using openvpn between a 2.2.19 and 2.4.18 kernel using the tun0 tunnel and the driver from sourceforge on the 2.2.19 machine. (No reboot required to install the tun0 driver) The 2.4.18 openvpn is standard, the 2.2.19 has HAVE_LINUX_IF_TUN_H undefined. Both machines are woody with libc6/testing. -- Rob.
