Hi Henrik, all..
Henrik, I think your patch is great and surely can help when using TUN/TAP..
However, I would like to point an issue (and I'm not criticizing
anyone here, I'm just asking for people thoughts, solutions)..
The SLiRP solution for QEMU is great if a user want to connect to the
net and browse, do some updates, etc, but it's not a good solution if
someone want to stuff like:
* Connect to host OS
* Connect to other machines in the LAN
* Use services from host OS
For the things in the list above to make them work, the solution is to
use TUN/TAP and/or VDE. These are great solutions - but setting them
up is quite a challange for people who are nor familiar (or doesn't
have a big knowledge) with Linux.
What do people think could be a solution for end users? comments?
Thanks,
Hetz
