[uml-user] cannot configure network device

[<ham...@t-...>]

Hi,

I am just starting with uml
I configured a machine, was setting up preconfigured tap device, and could bring up the
eth0 inside the uml nicely with these steps
tunctl -u user
ifconfig tap0 192.168.1.2 up
route add -host 192.168.1.3 dev tap0
----
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.3 up

After I scrapped the filesystem and started over again, all I can get from the ifconfig is
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied
I am definitely using the same kernel and the same install
