Bug#404794: linux-image-2.6.18-3-686: Pb while trying ioctl on /dev/net/tun (module tun)

[Xavier <x.guimard@free.fr>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-686
Version: 2.6.18-7
Severity: important


I'm using qemu (debian version). When I launch it, it does not work and returns:

  warning: could not configure /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation
  Could not initialize device 'tap'

With strace, I've the following error:

  431   open("/dev/net/tun", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
  431   ioctl(3, TUNSETIFF, 0xbfd0afc0)   = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)

But it works with linux-image-2.6.17-2-686.

Thanks,
Xavier
