Package: uml-utilities Version: 20060323-3 Severity: wishlist
In uml_net (tuntap.c) is an ifconfig call for the host's tap device which is hardcoded with a netmask of 255.255.255.255 and no broadcast address. This prevents the usage of (small) networks (e.g. netmask=255.255.255.248) between the host and the uml guest with uml_net. Preallocated tun/tap devices otoh lead to fixed user assignments for those devices. It would be helpful if the host's tap device had a configurable netmask. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-jo1 Locale: LANG=en_US.iso885915, LC_CTYPE=en_US.iso885915 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages uml-utilities depends on: ii adduser 3.99 Add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-1 GNU readline and history libraries ii makedev 2.3.1-83 creates device files in /dev uml-utilities recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
