Going ls -l /dev/net shows the tun device (device 10,200) but there is no tap entry. Any ideas on how to get it working?

find /dev -name \*tap\*

finds nothing

I think that /dev/net/tun is a universal tun/tap driver so there is nothing to load so long as you have the tun driver loaded.

ls /dev/net/tun
ls: cannot access /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory

ip tuntap add tap0 mode tap
open: No such file or directory

modpobe tun
ls /dev/net/tun
/dev/net/tun

ip tuntap add tap0 mode tap

If none of the other answers work, check to make sure the line

alias char-major-10-200 tunode_tunnel

appears in /lib/modules/.../modules.alias
