Package: vde
Version: 1.5.11-1
Severity: normal
After upgrading to kernel 2.6.18-1, I found that vde no longer worked
correctly. My /etc/network/interfaces file has the following:
auto tap0
iface tap0 inet static
address 10.1.6.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 10.1.6.0
broadcast 10.1.6.255
vde-switch vde-net
After booting, there was no tap0 interface, although vde_switch was
running. I killed vde_switch off and then tried to bring the interface
up manually and got the following:
# ifup tap0
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
tap0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device
tap0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
tap0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Failed to bring up tap0.
After going back to 2.6.17-2, vde worked correctly again.
Cheers,
Paul.
