Use the network helper helper to configure the TAP interface and attach it to the bridge. The default network helper executable is /path/to/qemu-bridge-helper and the default bridge device is br0. Examples: #launch a QEMU instance with the default network helper to #connect a TAP device to bridge br0 qemu-system-i386 linux.img -netdev bridge,id=n1 -device virtio-net,netdev=n1 #launch a QEMU instance with the default network helper to #connect a TAP device to bridge qemubr0 qemu-system-i386 linux.img -netdev bridge,br=qemubr0,id=n1 -device virtio-net,netdev=n1 What is the acl file? What is the interface to qemu-bridge-helper? To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1832877/+subscriptions
