[Bug 565856] [NEW] TUN kernel module (tun.ko) not available in lucid lynx standard kernel

[Marcel Schulte]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic

The tun module, needed by most (all?) VPN connections, is not included
in generic kernel image any more.

Searching for "tun.ko" via packages.ubuntu.com results in information
file is only available in RT kernel and user-mode-linux. Until karmic
koala the module was also available in generic image so VPN connections
were possible.

Did you forget to enable tun/tap config in generic lucid kernel or does
it "work as designed" and we (thew ubuntu users) have to use another
kernel package to get VPN working from lucid lynx on?

Many thanks in advance!

Regards,
Marcel
