[uml-devel] Networking without tun/tap?

[uml-devel] Networking without tun/tap?

[Alexander Newald]

Hello,

I like to install uml on a server running a 2.4.20 kernel but has no tun/tap
configured in. Module support is disabled. Is their any way to get virtual
networking running without rebooting the mashine? I have root access to the
server.

Thanks,

Alexander Newald

That is definitely a uml-users question, but still:
You can get the uml-switch/daemon networking to work, but than your
uml's will be unable to access the real network. (you could also use the
pcap driver)

	And, as a last option, I believe the slirp transport runs as a 
non-root userspace process on the host.

You should be able to set up a serial device connecting to slirp on the 
host (i.e. like a dialup connection where UML dials the host over a pty 
device)
