<Solved> creating tap device

Postby Socaltom » Thu Jul 04, 2013 4:58 pm

I'm trying to create an openvpn bridge, but I'm getting this error.

I've been looking for how to create a tun/tap device and can't seem to locate a solution. Any ideas?
Thanks

I searched around the net and tried several things, then I rebooted... problem fixed. I ran pacman - Syu earlier, without a reboot. I'm assuming that was the issue.

It likely updated the kernel and couldn't load the tun module because you didn't reboot
