I haven't been able to install it, some months ago :-)
I have checked the SM site b4 trying gentoo, but gentoo has better
documentation...

what brings up your tap device? In my debian, if i understand correctly the concepts,
when something try to use the /dev/net/tun device, hotplug calls ifup tap0 to
bring the device up. (look at the following lines from my syslog, the idented line)
and
make it available.
