In that case, what does the "name" parameter mean? Quoting from the
manpage on my system:
-net tap[,vlan=n][,name=name][,fd=h][,ifname=name][,script=file][,down-
script=dfile]
Connect the host TAP network interface name to VLAN n, use the net-
work script file to configure it and the network script dfile to
deconfigure it. If name is not provided, the OS automatically pro-
vides one. fd=h can be used to specify the handle of an already
opened host TAP interface.
I tried again, substituting "ifname" for "name" and leaving everything
else as-is, That draws an error:
device tap11 is already a member of a bridge; can't enslave it to bridge br0.
/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup: could not launch network script
Could not initialize device 'tap'
I suppose that's a good sign, but it still leaves me wondering how to
control which tap connects to which bridge, if I can't attach a guest
to an existing tap.
