tun/tap has been mentioned before on this list, but I know of noone  
who's actively using it with GNU Radio on OSX; if anyone is, please  
speak up!  Hence I'm going to try it out & see what it does.  Can  
you / someone provide me with a quick example script to test the  
functionality of a tun/tap device, with or without GNU Radio?

Please note that the pre-compiled PKG version (not the source which  
you would then compile) of tuntaposx is meant as a universal binary  
for 10.4 or higher, but not specifically compiled for 10.5.  Given  
that this is a kext, that might make a difference in correct  
functionality (or not).

I've submitted updates to MacPorts to correct the compile behavior of  
"tuntaposx" source code, to allow it to compile correctly on, and  
specifically for, 10.4 and 10.5 when using MacPorts.  I expect those  
change to propagate through the system in the next couple of days.  If  
anyone wants these files (as an archive which can overwrite that  
provided by MacPorts) for testing purposes, I'm happy to provide them.
