This indicates that the tun driver is loaded correctly.

I've also seen this messages, but they seemd mostly harmless. At least it
did not stop MOL from working for me.

This is strange. MOL seems to just shut down. This should not happen unless
MacOS terminates. Wheter the networking is setup correctly or not should not
matter. MOL can run without networking.

Which version of MacOS do you try to boot? MOL does currently only support
MacOS up to 10.4.x.
Can you also try to run 'ifconfig -a' and 'iptables -t nat -L -v' while MOL
is running. This tells you if the networking is setup correctly. If you have
problems interpreting the output just post it to the list.
