Hi guys. I do not know if it's meant to be that way but tap devices cannot get IPs assigned with DHCP. I did not check the old dhclient code but the new one cannot hand over DHCP requests to tap devices. I was sure a tap device acted as an ethernet device even though it's a virtual one, since one can manually assign IP to tap. It can however assign IP to a bridge (with DHCP) with dev tap as a member of it. Could someone explain me please if this behaviour is on purpose or just a problem with DHCP? Cheers, Marcin.
