*sigh* but I'm not able to bring up the device... eg

ifconfig tap0 192.168.255.254 netmask 255.255.255.255
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS tap0: Device not configured

looks like the build didn't work, it installed without errors.

Ideas? BTW this is to connect to an openvpn bridge. The auth seems
to work okay, then I get the message

Sun Oct 23 23:20:32 2005 us=927858 Sorry but you cannot use --dev tap and --ifconfig together on this OS because I have not yet been programmed to understand the appropriate ifconfig syntax to use for TAP-style devices on this OS.  Your best alternative is to use an --up script and do the ifconfig command manually.

I think that is a bad error because I am using an up script, but
the interface (even manually) is not coming up...
