[9fans] 9vx w/ tun/tap on OS X?

has anyone gotten this working? i've got the
3rd-party tun/tap kexts installed (i believe; the
devices show up in /dev), but 9vx is unhappy.
my config file contains:

	ether0=type=tap dev=/dev/tap0

9vx complains with:

	9vx panic: fd 5 read -1

(when running as superuser, which i believe is
needed with the tun/tap on OS X; as a regular
user i get:

	tap: open failed with: 13
	ve: tap failed to initialize
)

anyone gotten this going on OS X? tips?

What is the errno? AFAIK,
1) you must do `ifconfig tap0 up'
2) you must read an entire packet (big enough buffer).
