It sounds from your interface name as though you are using a Linux 
system, and I can't find this ioctl documented anywhere on FreeBSD:
%%%
tack:/usr/src/sys/net % grep -Hr TUNSETPERSIST .
Exit 1
tack:/usr/src/sys/compat % grep -Hr TUNSETPERSIST .
Exit 1
%%%

Perhaps try a Linux development forum who will be better able to assist 
you? In FreeBSD, tap/tun interfaces are cloners, and can be 
created/destroyed using the usual cloneable interface mechanisms.
