IP_CREATE_TAP(1)             Retro Project Manual             IP_CREATE_TAP(1)


NAME
       ip_create_tap - add a user-mode tap device to a bridge

SYNOPSIS
       ip_create_tap [TAPNAME]

DESCRIPTION
       This  script  adds  user-mode  a tap device to a bridge and creates the
       bridge in case it doesn't exist already.

       The script first checks whether 'br0' exists, if not ip_create_br(1) is
       executed.  Then a tap device is created, named TAPNAME or 'tap0' by de-
       fault. The tap device will be accessible to the user which executes the
       script. Finally, the created tap device is connected to bridge 'br0'.

       The script should be started as a normal user, but uses sudo(8) to exe-
       cute privileged commands, and might therefore ask for  the  user  pass-
       word.
