TAP driver for Solaris used for OpenVPN
and any other virtual network solution.

This is a TAP driver for Solaris that can be used for OpenVPN, OpenConnect, vpnc
The code is based on Universal TUN/TAP driver. I made changes somewhat and added some code to it for supporting Ethernet tunneling feature, since Universal TUN/TAP driver for Solaris only supports IP tunneling known as TUN.

Since there has not been TAP driver for Solaris, OpenVPN does not have code for handling a TAP device for Solaris. So I also modified OpenVPN code somewhat, and made it work with this TAP driver.
OpenVPN patch has been merged into OpenVPN 2.2.0.(2011.04.28).

Also, I wrote bridge moduel for Solaris, so that you can configure Solaris as bridge server.
