Hi, I've seen this before on the list but I forgot to save it. I apologize in advance if this ticks anyone off. Under Red Hat 6.1 with kernel 2.2.16-3 and all the latest RPM's as of 10/13/2000, I did the following: modprobe ethertap mknod /dev/tap0 c 36 16 mknod /dev/tap1 c 36 17 mknod /dev/tap2 c 36 18 mknod /dev/tap3 c 36 19 I'm able to bring tap0 up using the usual "ifconfig tap0 ..." but I can't bring any others up. How do you bring up the other tap devices? Is there a kernel boot-time param that I need to set to enable more than one tap device? Any sysctl to change?
