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? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages qemu depends on: ii bochsbios 2.3.5-1 BIOS for the Bochs emulator ii libasound2 1.0.15-3 ALSA library ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgnutls13 2.0.4-3 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libncurses5 5.6+20080203-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.13-2 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii openbios-sparc 1.0~alpha2+20080106-2 SPARC Open Firmware ii openhackware 0.4.1-3 OpenFirmware emulator for PowerPC ii proll 18-3 JavaStation PROM 2.x compatible re ii vgabios 0.6a-3 VGA BIOS software for the Bochs an ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-11 compression library - runtime Versions of packages qemu recommends: ii debootstrap 1.0.8 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii sharutils 1:4.6.3-1 shar, unshar, uuencode, uudecode ii vde2 2.2.0-pre2-1 Virtual Distributed Ethernet -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
