Re: [gentoo-user][SOLVED] /dev/net/tun doesn't exist

[Alexander Kirillov <nevis2us@infoline.su>]

There now seems to be certain time lag between tun module is loaded
and /dev/net/tun is created. So the script would die on the following lines:

modprobe tun
if [ ! -c /dev/net/tun ]; then
	echo "/dev/net/tun doesn't exist"
	exit
fi

Adding tun to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 helps
but the question now is if it's normal behaviour or a bug
introduced with recent udev upgrade?
