It sounds liek you don't have a kernel with tap support. If you know
ethertap is compiled in, make sure you are booting the kernel that you
think you are. dmesg should tell you if its in your kernel, unless of
course its compiled as a module. If so try an 'insmod -k ethertap'. If
thats not it, I have no clue.
