I am using darkstat 3.0.712-2 to monitor the interface utilization on a
Debian "Squeeze" system running on an old Dell GX260 mini desktop box.
Everything was fine under the "Lenny" release, but I upgraded the box
yesterday to "Squeeze", and now darkstat doesn't recognize the VPN
tunnel interface (tun0). It recognizes the other interfaces, but when
I issue the command:

`/usr/sbin/darkstat -i tun0 -l 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -p 668 --user
darkstat --chroot /var/log/darkstat/tun0`

it gives me:

4579: error: unknown linktype 12

Issuing the exact same command, except replacing tun0 with eth0 or ppp0
works fine. Does anyone have any ideas? Ifconfig returns:
