[Netkit.users] Problem creating tap

[Massimo Rimondini]

Dear Carlos,

your Netkit release seems outdated.

> Netkit version:            2.4

Most recent is 2.6.

> Netkit kernel version:     K2.3 (2.6.23.1)

Most recent is K2.5

> Netkit filesystem version: F3.0a

Most recent is F4.0

In particular, improvements in the compatibility with Ubuntu based
distributions have been introduced in the meantime, and may likely solve
your problem.
Unless you have a valid reason for sticking with those releases, I
strongly suggest you upgrade your installation. Please feel free to come
back if you still experience the problem after doing so.


Regards,
Massimo Rimondini.
