tap1 problem

[Gillian]

Hi Tinc-Mailing Group and Ivo,

I've recompiled the kernel with the ethertap device as a module <M>.
I still cannot get the tap1 device working. Could someone please
explain to me in detail what I need to do...  I've already tried

	/sbin/insmod ethertap

and that gives:

	Using /lib/modules/2.2.18/net/ethertap.o
	insmod: a module named ethertap already exists

/sbin/modprobe ethertap  ( This gives no error message )

Running      /sbin/ifconfig tap1 hw ether fe:fd:00:00:00:00

still gives:

	SIOCSIFHWADDR: No such device

If anyone has advice of how to get tap1 working can they please
pass it this way.

Thank you,
Gillian.

AFAIK, you must compile ethertap as a module if you want to use two
devices, did you do this?
