Describe the problem
I have installed the openwrt package but for Netbird but it seems to be unable to connect. I am running netbird version 0.23.4-1 and I get the error "Error: unable to get daemon status: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = couldn't check or load tun module
"

To Reproduce
Install the Netbird OpenWRT package from github and run Netbird up.

Expected behavior
I expected it to work out if the box.

NetBird status -d output:
Error: status failed: couldn't check or load tun module

Additional context
I am running Netbird on a router with a mips CPU. It is possible this is related to the CPU arch.

It seems like the required tun device drivers are missing. What you could try it installing WireGuard. This should bring kernel module to the device:
opkg install wireguard

So I installed the wireguard kmod package and after doing a modprobe it started working. Thanks.

I am planning on using this with openwisp so we'll see where it goes.
