Bug Description
Android >= 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) comes with a TUN/TAP virtual NIC driver and an API for configuring it: http://
hipd currently uses the Linux dummy network driver, which is not guaranteed to be available in all kernels and requires root privileges to be configured.
Making hipd use the TUN/TAP driver on Android (and optionally on other platforms) and making a wrapper for using Android's native VPN API for configuring it would be a step away from requiring a rooted device.
