Re: [Vtun-devel] IOCTL problems on linux-2.4.14

[Helge J. <je...@sl...>]

Thanks for your reply. It worked.

Is it correct, that basically the problem is, that the vtun module (or 
something) has it's own code for trying to guess a device "sub-number" 
(ex: tun0), but it call's dev_alloc_name, which requires a "%d" in the 
name to allocate it?
