FATAL: Module tun not found.

(I don't use modules in my kernels.)

I'm using udev, so actually, if the node is there, the kernel does in fact 
know how to talk to it. (unless I don't understand udev. which is possible)

root at doug ~ # dmesg|grep -i tun
Universal TUN/TAP device driver 1.5 (C)1999-2002 Maxim Krasnyansky

any other ideas?
