Subject: [Qemu-devel] Any interest in an option to use an existing tun/tap device?
Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2004 17:24:43 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <874qn24t78.fsf@trouble.defaultvalue.org> (raw)


It would be nice if qemu could be configured to use an existing
tun/tap device rather than require root (or sudo) access.  Would
others be interested in such an addition, perhaps "qemu -tun tun0" or
similar.

User Mode Linux allows something similar.  See the section "TUN/TAP
with a preconfigured tap device" at
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/networking.html.

Thanks
