Package: kvm
Version: 11-1
Severity: grave

This command line used to work with kvm 7:

  fugl:~> sudo kvm -hda /dev/evms/winxp -net nic -net tap 
  Incorrect number of arguments for command
  Usage: brctl addif <bridge> <device>  add interface to bridge
  /etc/kvm/kvm-ifup: could not launch network script
  Could not initialize device 'tap'

It looks like for some reason, the new kvm-ifup script _requires_ that
the user uses bridged networking, which has never worked properly for
me.
