Hello,
I am trying to use TUN/TAP driver. My OS is RH71, kernel is 2.4.17, with
tuntap compiled as a module. Module is inserted properly when I try to
open '/dev/net/tun', and I get kernel message saying "TUN/TAP universal
driver, (c)...etc.". But ioctls don't work and always return '-1'.
To test it I was using code from tuntap's documentation (included below this
message and btw I don't understand dev's name str-copying in this code)
and pengaol, newest version, which I know works with tuntap. None of these
2 programs work for me.
Any help would be really greatly appreciated.

#include <sys/fcntl.h>

struct ifreq ifr;
int fd, err;
if( (fd = open("/dev/net/tun", O_RDWR)) < 0 ) {
printf("open error\n");
return 0;
}
memset(&ifr, 0, sizeof(ifr));
/* Flags: IFF_TUN - TUN device (no Ethernet headers)

ifr.ifr_flags = IFF_TUN;
if( *dev )
strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, dev, IFNAMSIZ);
if( (err = ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, (void *) &ifr)) < 0 ){
printf("ioctl err %d: %s\n", err, strerror(err));
close(fd);
return err;
}
strcpy(dev, ifr.ifr_name);
return fd;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char test[100] = "1234567890123456";
tun_alloc(test);
return 0;
}
