[Netkit.users] Tap error,

[Massimo Rimondini]

Hello Fabio and Miguel,

Netkit scripts already take care of creating the device /dev/net/tun, if 
it does not exist. However, a message should be issued in such a 
circumstance ("Creating /dev/net/tun device..."). Does this happen?

BTW, that is not exact output of vstart. Miguel, can you please provide 
a cut-and-paste of the actual output so that we can better diagnose the 
problem?

Regards,
Massimo.
