CONFIG_TUN
 
   
 
   
   
+
TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space
 +
programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet
 +
device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media,
 +
receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets
 +
via physical media writes them to the user space program.
 +
                                           
 +
When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers
 +
corresponding net device tunX or tapX.  After a program closed above
 +
devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and
 +
all routes corresponding to it.

below info modified from [1]

Required menuconfig prompts/settings according to gentoo wiki and my own configs:

Device Drivers --->
  [*] Network device support --->
      USB Network Adapters --->
           <M> Multi-purpose USB Networking Framework
              -M-   CDC Ethernet support (smart devices such as cable modems)
              <M> CDC EEM support
              <M> Host for RNDIS and ActiveSync devices (EXPERIMENTAL)
              <M> Simple USB Network Links (CDC Ethernet subset)
                 [*] Embedded ARM Linux links

note ***

The prompts above frequently change from one kernel version to the next. The above settings were noted as of kernel version 3.8.3-gentoo-r1.

corresponding .config parameters spawned from above settings:

CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y
CONFIG_USB_USBNET=m
CONFIG_USB_NET_CDCETHER=m
CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_EEM=m
CONFIG_USB_NET_RNDIS_HOST=m
CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET=m
CONFIG_USB_ARMLINUX=y

check config command run against your kernel config file to verify settings

cat .config | grep -E "NETDEVICES|USB_USBNET|USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET|USB_NET_CDCETHER|USB_NET_CDC_EEM|NET_RNDIS_HOST|USB_ARMLINUX"

iptables

-*- Networking support  --->
      Networking options  --->
       [*] Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter)  --->
          Core Netfilter Configuration  --->
               [*] Netfilter connection tracking support
               -*- Netfilter Xtables support (required for ip_tables)
               [*]   "conntrack" connection tracking match support  
               [*]   "state" match support
          IP: Netfilter Configuration  --->
               [*] IPv4 connection tracking support (required for NAT)
               [*] IP tables support (required for filtering/masq/NAT)
               [*]   Packet filtering

TUN/TAP

CONFIG_TUN

TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user space programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical media, receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets via physical media writes them to the user space program.

When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and all routes corresponding to it.

Required for openvpn.
