Set up virtual tap0 device on boot

[Damir Dezeljin <programing@mbss.org>]

Hi.

I hope that I'm not reposting this e-mail (I never received my first
post).

Is it posible to set up 'tap0' device during Debian boot?

As I know it is needed to send a special IOCTL call to the /dev/net/tun
character device. This IOCTL is used to register the tap0 with the kernel.

I would like to set tap0 in promisc mode and add it to br0 bridge that is
set up on boot from /etc/network/interfaces. I would like to avoid adding
my own program for tap0 registration. Is there anything similar already
implemented in 'standard' Debian boot sequence - e.g. in interfaces file?

Any sugestion?

10x and regards,
Dezo
