In the page I pointed you to there's an explaination about bridging, and
on my homepage there's a "links" sections with various other articles.
Between the various stuff, you'll see that eth0 and tap0 are given no IP
but only br0 is; I'm not sure if this can be skipped too.
it can. assigning an IP to a linux bridge (or using any other protocol)
is entirely optional. To the rest of the linux network stack, a bridge
interface is just another ethernet interface.
Then what VMWare describes is just this standard Linux technology. Power of
the marketing!
yep, when I described this setup to the vmware guy (me describing it as
'well, it doesn't seem quite as slick as what you described, but here's a
work-around') the response was 'that's exactly how vmware does it'. but
prior to that terms like 'no IP stack running on the host' were being
thrown around.
