Cristian's kernel makes openvpn and other stuff work

While using the kernel I compiled (to get support for graphics working) I discovered that openvpn would not work. /var/log/messages spat out this error:

Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory
(errno=2) 

When I checked with "modprobe tun" I saw that is wasn't loaded. Apparently, the kernel was built without TUN support. A post on the opensuse-arm@opensuse.org mailing list helped - Cristian advised to try out his kernel (which you can download here).

I installed the new kernel (3.7.7) with zypper up - that worked flawlessly. One reboot later and openvpn was working. Some of the other things that Cristian has got working are:
- systemd should work completely fine.
- webcams, USB digital TV adapters, assorted USB devices



Cristian is still doing work on the kernel and will push the changes as soon as he's ready.
