Re-checked the configs from my last build (available at ftp://ftp.maddes.net/openwrt/backfire/brcm-2.4/build_21402/squashfs/) In the menu config it is "CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-tun=y", but in the kernel and final/used config it is "CONFIG_TUN=m". So the better squashfs compression was what helped me.
Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated.
