Hello Antonio,
Yes, the semantics of TAP interfaces changed in the 2.6.18 kernel,
breaking our dynamic TAP code. The current svn (or possibly tomorrow's,
depending on when it gets synchronised) fixes this, but you will need to
change your scripts. The following are updated versions of your scripts:
#!/bin/sh
IF=`/usr/sbin/tunctl -b`
/sbin/ifconfig $IF up
/usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 $IF
and
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/brctl delif br0 $2
/usr/sbin/tunctl -d $2
If the above scripts are called "/home/vbox/starttap.sh" and
"/home/vbox/stoptap.sh" then you should change your "Setup Application"
and "Termination Application" to "gtksudo /home/vbox/starttap.sh" and
"gtksudo /home/vbox/stoptap.sh" (replace "gtksudo" by "kdesu" if you use
KDE instead of Gnome).
Regards,
Michael
