Hi,

I'm setting up Qemu, have installed Ubuntu and Gentoo guests on FreeBSD host but
I would like to get the network interfaces to work also.

I get the following error however when trying to create the tap interfaces

FreeBSD# ifconfig tap create
ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE: Invalid argument


What is the problem here?

Many thanks,

Alain
