Hi,

==> on the host system:
1) you need to load some modules:
- if_bridge.ko
- bridgestp.ko
- if_tap.ko
- aio.ko

2) then add these sysctl:
sysctl net.link.tap.user_open=1
sysctl net.link.tap.up_on_open=1

3) create your interface (CAUTION: interface must be set before the vm starts):
- ifconfig br0 create
- ifconfig tap0 create
- chmod 0660 /dev/tap0

4) Finaly
$ ifconfig tap0 inet a.b.c.d netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast a.b.c.255 mtu 1492 up
- OR if we want a bridge tied to our own if :
$ ifconfig br0 addm re0 addm tap0 up

5) add the 'tap' option to qemu:
qemu- ... -net nic,model=.... -net tap,name=tap0

from my old notes, that probably comes from:
