Hello, I have problem with running Netbird on Raspberry Pi OS 11 (Debian 11 bullseye). I can see this error in /var/log/netbird/client.log:

I've tried reinstalling package, reregister client (it is displayed in web console as Status: offline), but nothing helped out... Any idea what to do about it?

hey @kocour
This looks weird.

What is the output of:

ls -l /dev/net/tun

would you mind joining slack? The issue seems to be very odd.

problem was with tun kernel module (machine not rebooted after kernel and modules update) and has nothing to do with NetBird... solved by rebooting machine with last installed kernel

all credits goes to these fantastic guys @braginini @mlsmaycon for their super fast and accurate response ;-)
