the script is needed to bring up a tap interface. the user would have to write their own if it does not exist already. perhaps in the interest of a more user-friendly experience the default script should first start a bridge if one does not exist.
Requiring a permanant bridge already setup can conflict with NetworkManager and seems too complex for the occasional desktop user. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475327 Title: qemu -net nic -net tap does not start due to qemu-ifXXX scripts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/475327/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
