can't bring up more than one tap device

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?

Thanks,
Tuan
