I've been having some problem with recent releases when it comes to
tap

think this is a bit weird and useless as I want the script to setup
the
tap by itself.
In net.c, the initialization (I assume) happen in
static int net_tap_init
setup_script is called after tap_open with the fd from tap_open as a
parameter.
However in setup_script, the fd is basically not used.
Would there be any reason not to remove the fd parameter to
setup_script,
and then call setup_script before tap_open ?
I've tried it with kvm-86 and it seems to work
You can get the same effect by setting up tap before launching qemu,
and using qemu -net tap,ifname=...,script=no.
I thought that the point of the scripts was to have qemu create/delete
taps as needed.
No, the scripts just configure the taps.
Most examples on the internet are based on that.
Another improvement would be to run the down script after qemu stops
using the taps so that they can be deleted.
How do I create a patch and submit it?
See http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Code and the numerous git tutorials.
