Hi, I am setting up a network for a container. I have a bridge br0 with a eth adapter "enp7s0" and a tap device "tap0" ******************************* /etc/netctl/bridge Description="Bridge connection" Interface=br0 Connection=bridge BindsToInterfaces=(enp7s0 tap0) IP=static Address='192.168.1.87/24' Gateway='192.168.1.254' DNS='192.168.1.254' /etc/netctl/ethernet Description='ethernet connection' Interface=enp7s0 Connection=ethernet IP=no IP6=no /etc/netctl/tuntap Description='tuntap connection' Interface=tap0 Connection=tuntap Mode='tap' User='nobody' Group='nobody' ****************************** gabx@hortensia ➤➤ ~ % netctl list * ethernet * tuntap * bridge gabx@hortensia ➤➤ ~ % ip addr 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: enp7s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master br0 state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 14:da:e9:b5:7a:88 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: tap0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master br0 state DOWN group default qlen 500 link/ether 6a:1d:c3:4b:91:4d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 4: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default link/ether 14:da:e9:b5:7a:88 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.87/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global br0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 fe80::16da:e9ff:feb5:7a88/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever gabx@hortensia ➤➤ ~ % lsmod | grep tun 58:tun 19783 1 ************************************* I do not understand why the tap0 profile is listed as DOWN. (# ip link set dev tap0 up does nothing more) I have a custom kernel. Do I need to add anything? Is there anything wrong on my netctl profiles ? No dhcp enable. TY for help
