I use the tap0 stuff to do networking with user mode linux... I don't know
what's requesting that interface on your computer however.

On my 2.4.0-test10 box it's the ethertap module which enables tap*, though
IIRC it was listed as an obsolete feature in favor of something else?

Maybe not a solution to your problem, but at least a coupla more data
points.
