It would be nice if qemu could be configured to use an existing
tun/tap device rather than require root (or sudo) access.  Would
others be interested in such an addition, perhaps "qemu -tun tun0" or
similar.

User Mode Linux allows something similar.  See the section "TUN/TAP
with a preconfigured tap device" at
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/networking.html.

Thanks
