And good riddance, as far as I'm concerned.:-) But we were talking about things that were only possible in CURRENT... Anyway, the point is that the ifconfig method works at least from 6.1 onwards - I can say for sure that it doesn't in 5.3, as that is what the box I'm writing this on runs, and I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that it works in 6.0 but not earlier. >> So does mine - of course, that's the line that is causing the error >> message - but it doesn't cause any actual problems. > >Now, in my case, and there may be something (else) that I've missed, if >tap is open I get that device exists error and qemu won't start. Humm, earlier you said that the networking failed... If qemu fails altogether, I think I see the reason: I actually have an 'exit 0' at the end of my qemu-ifup script, forgot to mention that before... - try it, I think you'll like it.:-) Without that, the non-zero exit code from 'ifconfig addm' becomes the exit code of the script, and qemu probably concludes that the network setup failed altogether. (Which is probably the reason I added that 'exit 0', but I have no memory of that...:-) --Per Hedeland
