Hello, I'm trying to get vpnc working. I've followed http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/vpnc-howto.xml. Here is output from my machine:
| Code: | kgw510 vpnc # uname -a
Linux kgw510 2.6.32-gentoo-r7 #5 SMP Tue Jun 15 13:45:52 PDT 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
kgw510 vpnc # grep "TUN" /usr/src/linux/.config

kgw510 vpnc # modprobe tun

kgw510 vpnc # ls -al /dev/net/tun

| Nevermind, I had tun compiled into the kernel (Y) instead of a module (M). Changing that, recompiling, rebooting, and running modprobe tun worked. |
