https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=262970 Summary: [feature-request] Please add TAP Add/Manage capability into Yast Network module Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 3 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: al4321@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com hi all ! Since openSUSE 10.3 going to have a new Yast Network module, I would like to request a new feature on the side: Management of TAP (Tunnel) Virtual Network Adapters. This will really ease my life, and life of every other suser around, who uses emulators. Currently, there are 3 emulators/virtualizers, that I know of, that can take advantage of TAP networking, it's: -Qemu -VirtualBox -Dynagen and maybe Xen... Currently, to make things work, I need the following: -uml utilities package (must be downloaded from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/user-mode-linux/uml_utilities_20040406.ta...) -ifconfig (included with SUSE) -TAP kernel module: check for /dev/net/tun (included with SUSE) Plus, on top of that I need to know the right commands to setup network bridging with TAP properly. A GUI feature like that, will ease dramatically the manual configurations required by users who use a lot of virtualization software, and it will help to empower the next generation of SUSE-networking. While it's arguabble if it's needed to be added to an OS, or to those products, I believe that since the problem is common along many applications, it must be solved at the OS level.
