Re: connecting domU and dom0 by bridging

Hi Christoph,

it seems my question was imprecise. I'm searching for virtual network
devices. At the moment I use something like

  ifconfig create tapX
  ifconfig tapX a.b.c.d netmask e.f.g.h up

  brconfig bridge0 add tapX

Is creating a tapX device o.k.?
