To: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello, list! I found a bug with the tun device: when it auto-registers with devfs, the softlink is set to "misc/net/tun", but the softlink itself is in /dev/net, so this link points to /dev/net/misc/... which, ofcourse, does not exist. This then results in a dead link. Can anyone think of a clean fix for this? (I haven't done any serious programming for some time and thus can only think of some VERY dirty fixes atm) Regards, Jeroen
