I think the device needs to be opened before you can do anything with
it. PPP of course does this for you, but if you want to ifconfig it
yourself you might try something like ``dd if=/dev/tun0 of=/dev/null
count=0'' first. That makes ifconfig work for me at least, I'm not sure
if it's the "right" way.
