I installed OpenVPN on my arm-based sheevaplug (OS is Debian 7 Wheezy, kernel 3.8.8.) but as soon as i try to start the service i receive the following error:

[....] Starting virtual private network daemon: serverSIOCSIFADDR: No such device
: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFDSTADDR: No such device
: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFMTU: No such device
 failed!

Also modeprobe tun outputs the following: 

libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod.c:554 kmod_search_moddep: could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/3.8.8/modules.dep.bin'

Any suggestions on how to resolve this? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

  • And what do you have for your OpenVPN config? – Zoredache Jul 24 '13 at 21:35
  • I found the solution. I recently upgraded my kernel to 3.8.8 but i didn't upgrade the modules so it was using ver. 2.6.30.2. I downloaded the modules for this kernel and i unzipped the folder under /lib/modules/3.8.8. It works... Thanks anyway! – vsapountzis Jul 24 '13 at 21:43

  • I have low reputation points so i can only answer my question after 7 hours from the initial question. I will do this asap. – vsapountzis Jul 24 '13 at 21:55
