Problem Description: kernel will not assign/open a tun device when tun.o is
compiled as a built-in. ifconfig gives 'unable to open /dev/net/tun' error.
compiling as a module fixes.

Compile kernel with tun/tap device driver as a built-in. Run ifconfig to see
error. recompile as a module, modprobe tun and run ifconfig - no error.
