[Qemu-discuss] Tap Devices

[Frans de Boer]

Dear Reader,

I would like to use OpenvSwitch + Qemu together with opensuse 12.2. I 
have OpenvSwitch and Qemu working correctly...as user root!

The problem is neither of them above, rather it's the creation of tap 
devices from Userspace. I see all kinds of possible solutions, some very 
dated some newer, but nothing yet I believe will work from Userspace only.

I have used VDE before, but had to disable the Firewall to have Internet 
access from the quests. OpenvSwitch is slightly faster then VDE so I 
would like to give that a try.

Any suggestions regarding the creation of tap devices from Userspace are 
welcome.

Regards, Frans.
