problem with tun/tap device

[Florian Prucker]

Hello!

I've a problem with tinc-up on Debian Woody (tinc 1.0pre7):

router:/etc/tinc/vpn# /etc/init.d/tinc start
Starting tinc daemons: vpn.

router:/etc/tinc/vpn# tail /var/log/syslog
Aug 23 03:25:26 router tinc.vpn[503]: /dev/tap0 is a Linux ethertap device
Aug 23 03:25:26 router modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module tap0
Aug 23 03:25:27 router last message repeated 4 times
Aug 23 03:25:27 router tinc.vpn[503]: Process 504 (tinc-up) exited with 
non-zero status 255
Aug 23 03:25:27 router tinc.vpn[503]: Ready

router:/etc/tinc/vpn# cat tinc-up 
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig tap0 hw ether fe:fd:0:0:0:0
ifconfig tap0 10.1.1.1 netmask 255.0.0.0
ifconfig tap0 -arp

router:/etc/tinc/vpn# ifconfig tap0 hw ether fe:fd:0:0:0:0
SIOCSIFHWADDR: No such device

any ideas?
best regards,
