Trouble getting uml networking going.



Hi,

        I am getting various errors trying to set up user-mode-linux
 networking on a 2.4 kernel, running Debian Sid. I have documented
 what happened when trying the preconfigured tun/tap configuration. 

	I have a machine with a simple routing tablee, and a single
 nic with ip 192.168.1.10. I am trying to set up tap0 with the host
 end having an IP address of 192.168.1.14; and assign 192.168.1.16 to
 the uml.

	Here is what I did initially as root:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

__> tunctl -d tap0

__> exit
----------------------------------------------------------------------

	This next is the script when I ran the uml with the command
 line option: % linux root_fs eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.1.14. Please note
 that as the kernel is booting, it recognizes a net device:
    Netdevice 0 : TUN/TAP backend - IP = 192.168.1.14

	But note the following errors:
Configuring network interfaces... tuntap_open_tramp failed - errno = 22
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument
tuntap_open_tramp failed - errno = 22
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument
done.

Description: linux root_fs eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.1.14

	Running dmesg inside the uml seems to point to a failure to
 run uml_net.

	What am I doing wrong? Is this a bug in uml_net?
