rump_server(1) and vether(4)



Hi, current documentation at:
https://www.netbsd.org/docs/rump/sptut.html

suggests using tap(4) and bridge(4) on the host, then within rump
server virt(4) can be used to provide connectivity via tap(4).

However, NetBSD-10 tap(4) man page states:

CAVEATS
Starting from NetBSD 10.0, the tap driver can no longer be used as a
bridge(4) endpoint because it supports a link state based on if it has
been opened or not.  Use the vether(4) driver instead as it's been
explicitly designed for this purpose.

So the question is - what is the alternative for rump server virt(4) as
it seems to only want to open tap(4) devices and not vether(4)?

Thanks.
