I have a wierd phenomenon. I have a new box, that can't seem to run openvpn.
Whenever i start Openvpn, the system looses all network connectivity. I have never seen anything like this before, and i am stumped. This is the first box i have installed which uses udev/devFS.. And i see some strange messages in the logs about that. Any help apreciated.
Below are excerpts from syslog, as well as the config and other info.
