How to install Tinc in a device with Android 2.3.7?

I was under the impression that cyanogenmod already had the tun module 
integrated in the kernel. It was already there on my dinc2 when I was 
running cyanogenmod 7.2 on Android 2.3.7.
One way I can confirm that I have it is to install OpenVPN settings -> 
Menu -> Prerequisites.

Just found the following too.
TUN.ko Installer from the android market also states this...
"If it says 'Path to tun.ko is not found' It means the app cannot find 
the path to your tun.ko, because its possible that tun support is 
COMPILED WITHIN YOUR KERNEL"

I would guess that since you're running cyanogenmod, this is the case, 
and you are already good to go.  See if OpenVPN settings can confirm this.
