Hello
By looking at tun.c, I saw it was possible to enable quite easily
Ethernet Bridging for NetBSD. ( only tunneling was enabled up to now in
the source code )
After applying the patch, you have to create the device before starting
the vpn with 'ifconfig tap0 create'.
I tested this with a NetBSD client connected to a Linux server in
bridging mode and it just works.
Attached is the patch to tun.c for openvpn 2.0.5
