[coLinux-users] Re: devel-20051013 TAP driver problem

[Brendan S. <Brendan@BrendanSimon.com>]

Correction, it seems that when I specify:
    eth0=tuntap
that it does work.

But I want to use a DHCP server and need to specify the MAC address.  
The MAC address is recognised when I use one of the following:
   #eth0=tuntap,"",00:D0:1f:99:88:99
   #eth0=tuntap,"coLinux TAP",00:D0:1f:99:88:99
   eth0=tuntap,"coLinux TAP v8",00:D0:1f:99:88:99
but a connection does not seem to be made to the TAP driver.

Any clues ???

Thanks,
Brendan.
