Michael's fix is good, but it got forgotten, probably because he has
submitted it in the middle of a thread.
I'm going resubmit it again.

You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu-

Status in QEMU: In Progress
Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Debian: Fix Released
Bug description:
When using tap network devices and it fails, qemu gives no information about
what the problem is (permission denied, device busy or other), making debugging
of such situations, especially for newbies, very difficult. The proposed patch
just adds strerror() around the place, making it more friendly.
