MacOSX 10.6.2 vpnc tap not working

[Florian Koch]

Hi @all,

i try to use  vpnc with a tap interface on Mac OSX 10.6.2

I have Installed vpnc and tuntaposx

with the tun device , no problem, but with the tap device , i get the following error (the conf, user, and pw are the same as with tun)

core:~ flo$ /usr/bin/sudo /opt/local/sbin/vpnc --ifmode tap /Users/flo/Tools/xxx.conf
Enter password for <user>@<ip>: 
can't get tunnel HW address: Function not implemented


Any Idea?
