[Qemu-devel] tun network

[vaise]

On Mandrake 10, I have /dev/net/tun, but no /dev/net/tun0
Is it normal ? 

so Renzo Script tells me :
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
tun0: unknown interface: No such device

Have you tried to do: /sbin/modprobe tun

I'm not sure if mandrake knows how to autoload this module..

Thanks,

I found my mistake !
"-1 the device node /dev/net/tun with read/write permissions" !!! 
so :
crw-rw----  1 me root 10, 200 Jan  1  1970 /dev/net/tun

I, too, should learn to read...


just a litle thing : it could be a good idea to remane the files 
"bin00004.bin" and "bin00005.bin".
-they are not binaries
-it is not very clear who is who

Thank you again Renzo for your very good work.
