[Voyage-linux] tun support?

[Gustin Johnson]

All you have done is load the tun module, you still have to set up the
tunnel and define an interface such as tun0.  Openvpn does this
automatically, but other tunnels require a little more work from you.

Also "ip addr" will show you all of the current interfaces.
