Package: qemu
Version: 0.9.1-1
Severity: normal
It seems to be impossible to have a tun/tap device already configured (e.g. in
/etc/network/interfaces and the if-pre-up.d script from uml-utilities) but not
yet open (i.e. no file descriptor), and have that device used by qemu.
I tried -nic tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap0,script=/bin/true, but that doesn't work.
Instead I am now using qemu-start which opens /dev/net/tun, binds to tap0 (or
whichever I choose) and then passes the file descriptor (using -nic
tap,vlan=0,fd=<fd-from-opening-tun>) to qemu.
Is there any other way of having tap0 preconfigured and using it in qemu?

Tried again. It works. Apparently I made a stupid mistake when I was
trying before. Sorry.

now I have the rest of the afternoon to sniff fragrant tea-roses or
strangle cute bunnies or something. -- Michael Devore
