1 There now seems to be certain time lag between tun module is loaded
2 and /dev/net/tun is created. So the script would die on the following lines:
3
4 modprobe tun
5 if [ ! -c /dev/net/tun ]; then
6 echo "/dev/net/tun doesn't exist"
7 exit
8 fi

10 Adding tun to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 helps
11 but the question now is if it's normal behaviour or a bug
12 introduced with recent udev upgrade?
