2007-03-09 Thread Frank Behrens
I want to diskuss the tap(4) behaviour before I create a PR: The tap(4) interface does not go automatically in UP state (IFF_UP) when opened by a process. Therefore an additional command "ifconfig tapx up" is necessary, which can execute root only. On the other site the interface goes down aut

Assign IP address to which interface when using if_bridge(4)?

2007-03-09 Thread Frank Behrens
