Instead of adding those routes, you can change the ifconfig in tinc-up
or whereever you put it to:

ifconfig tap0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0

Hm, did you really put "subnet 255.255.0.0" there? I think that should
be "netmask 255.255.0.0". Adding routes from tinc-up should work...

iptraf has a silly method of detecting the device type: if the interface
name starts with "eth" it thinks it's an ethernet device, if it starts
with "ppp" it thinks it's a PPP device, and if it starts with something
it doesn't know it ignores it. You can use a hex editor, look for a long
list of interface names, and modify one you don't use. You can also
download the source, add tap and recompile it.

Other tools like tcpdump and ethereal work fine with ethertap devices.
