Careful ! I am not using vtun or openvpn here, I am only using the
TUN driver that comes with those packages (or for the more recent
distributions, the tun driver is already installed).

You DONT need to install openvpn or vtun, just the TUN *subdriver*
if I may call it that, and ONLY if your kernel does not have one
installed already. Check using 'locate tun.o' type of thing.

I'll try and add 2.2. kernel support as soon as possible.
