Hello,
I  found the solution to your probelm.
well first :
 - Go to the file GENERIC (if you can't find it do: $ find . -name GENERIC
 - once you find it :
   change the number of tun from 1 to 3
  - and recompile the kernel 

(if you do not know how to recompile the kernel I will tell you if you
want)

Good luck.
