tinc tries to open /dev/net/tun by default, instead of the new name
(in 2.6/devfs) /dev/misc/net/tun.

Overriding this in tinc.conf doesn't work.
I have "Device = /dev/misc/net/tun" in my /etc/tinc/tinc/tinc.conf
file (and "tinc" in /etc/tinc/nets.boot), but tincd still only tries
/dev/net/tun.

thanks

It turned out that I had 2 Device lines in tinc.conf, of which the first
was was used, and of which I only edited the second one ;)

Anyway, it would still be nice if, by default, tinc would just try
/dev/tun, /dev/net/tun, /dev/misc/net/tun in sequence and use the first
one found.
ANd it would als be nice if it would warn about the extra Device= line.
