>Description:
When starting OpenVPN 2.0.5  from pkgsrc using a tap device, openvpn vpn exits with the message, if you request 

Sorry, but I don't know how to do 'ifconfig' commands on th
is operating system.  You should ifconfig your TUN/TAP device manually or use an
 --up script.

This problem is NetBSD specific.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use openvpn with a config file which have : 
dev tap
pull 
>Fix:
Patch to tun.c : just add the right ifconfig parameters for netbsd's tap
