In the Yast-Network module you press "Add" button. 2. In addition to the possibility of adding a physical NIC, you're offered the possibility to add virtual NIC, which is TAP interface. 3. uml_utilities package is needed to configure permissions of the new TAP interface - that is: to allow emulators run in normal user mode, instead of root mode. Yast network module should allow me to configure TAP-n interface to belong to UID/GID-n. This package is a must, but unfortunately it is not part of openSUSE. What's the procedure to re-include this package in the distro again? This package is part of User-Mode Linux, which was part of SUSE Linux 10.0 but was dropped from openSUSE 10.2. Alternatives may exist to this package, but this requires some extra investigation. 4. Standard TAP interface configuration options: -IP address, subnet mask -IP aliases (subinterfaces) -static routing -all the rest of standard options available... -Alexey "Technologov" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
