Ubuntu uses a dynamic /dev, device nodes are created and destroyed
automatically as the drivers are loaded and detect the hardware.

There are still a few kinks, this is one of them.

Put "tun" in /etc/modules; on the command line you can load this with
"modprobe tun".

This causes the creation of /dev/net/tun for you.
