Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
The tun module, needed by most (all?) VPN connections, is not included in generic kernel image any more.
Searching for "tun.ko" via packages.ubuntu.com results in information file is only available in RT kernel and user-mode-linux. Until karmic koala the module was also available in generic image so VPN connections were possible.
Did you forget to enable tun/tap config in generic lucid kernel or does it "work as designed" and we (thew ubuntu users) have to use another kernel package to get VPN working from lucid lynx on?
Many thanks in advance!
Regards,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,
Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/releases/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications- >Accessories- >Terminal) . It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.
apport-collect -p linux 565856
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelMainl ineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs- upstream- testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs- upstream- testing' text. Please let us know your results.
Thanks in advance.
