TAP Driver Install Problem in 2.1.2 - KNOWN ISSUE

ecrist

There is a problem with the TAP driver signature in 2.1.2 release. This has been fixed in 2.1.3, which will be available soon. Any new topics on this discussion will be merged or deleted, as appropriate.

Regarding to the recent post "TAP Driver Install Problem in 2.1.2 - KNOWN ISSUE" by ecrist, I would like to check the version of tap on my centos.

I tried the following command but cannot find anything close to 2.1.2/2.1.3
yum list | grep tap
find / -name tap*

What is the correct way to check the version of tap driver?
Should it just be the same as OpenVPN? (in which case I am using 2.0.9 only)
Does that Known Issue apply to all OS or for Windows only?
Where can I get such information?

Thanks

My apologies - this is a Windows-specific problem.

The Windows driver signing has been fixed. You can now download OpenVPN 2.1.3 from the OpenVPN download page.

As ecrist already stated, this is a Windows specific issue. OpenVPN only ships TUN/TAP driver for Windows [1]. For *BSD and Linux, OpenVPN makes use of the native TUN/TAP driver in the OS kernel. So for CentOS, that will be the tun.ko kernel module.

[1] It might be a similar situation for Solaris, but that's unclear for me right now.

kinda true for iphone as well, i say kinda because this is a matter of packaging, the tunemu is completely 3rd party
