cannot route packet: unknown type 0

[Peter Berends]

	Sure, (b.t.w. extremely quick answer ;),

	I use linux Mandrake 8.0 with a custom 2.4.3 kernel (with tun/tap
enabled in the kernel, not as a module).
	To create the device I used a tinc-up script which has the following
contents:

	#!/bin/sh
	# This file sets up the tap device.
	# It gives you the freedom to do anything you want with it.
	# Use the correct name for the tap device:
	# For ethertap this is tap0, tap1, tap2 etcetera,
	# but for the universal tun/tap device use $NETNAME.

	# Set hardware ethernet address (required!)
	ifconfig $NETNAME hw ether fe:fd:0:0:0:0

	# Give it the right ip and netmask. Remember, the subnet of the
	# tap device must be larger than that of the individual Subnets
	# as defined in the host configuration file!
	ifconfig $NETNAME 192.168.6.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 -arp

	Then I fire up 'tincd -n midkemia' and the device is created.

	I used tinc version 1.0pre4 using these command-line options for
configure:
	--prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/s
	hare/man --infodir=/usr/share/info

	I tried to compile the CVS version but that didn't work (a lot of
errors about undeclared variables and stuff).

	Thanks again (also for the fastest reply I have ever had)!

	Peter.
