Add a tap interface to the bridge.
Thanks, that works like a charm when done manually.
But I cannot seem to get it to work at reboot.
I tried this way:
# cat ifconfig.tap0
create
!ifconfig $int 192.168.0.1
# cat ifconfig.bridge0
create
!brconfig $int add bnx0 up
!brconfig $int add tap0 up
This requires that tap0 is created first, but /sbin/ifconfig -C (used by
the relevant lines of /etc/rc.d/network) lists bridge before tap.
Is the designed way to get this right that I set net_interfaces?
For portability to future hardware,
net_interfaces="`/sbin/ifconfig -l` tap bridge"
should work in my case. (Well, except that I'll need a hardware
specific ifconfig_blah in any case.)
(I am making a complex installation of NetBSD with a bunch of xen guests
and qemu guests, and I will leave my job and this system. I really
would like to do things right for maintainability.)
