When I start qemu on newly installed etch this is what I get: $ qemu -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:10 -net tap -hda root.img warning: could not configure /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation Could not initialize device 'tap'
$ ls -l /dev/net/tun crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 200 2007-05-01 18:37 /dev/net/tun If I start same command with sudo everything run fine. My /etc/qemu-ifup is as follows (it was functional with sarge) $ cat /etc/qemu-ifup #!/bin/sh sudo /sbin/ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 sudo brctl addif br0 $1 sudo brctl stp br0 on $ ll /etc/qemu-ifup -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 147 2007-05-01 16:46 /etc/qemu-ifup Since it run fine by root I guess there are some permission problem, but can not find where. My question is why normal user can not create tap0 device and how to fix this. I wonder if there is some MAC addresses for network cards reserved for private use (as IP addresses 192.168.x.x is reserved)?
