How to configure the new tap driver:
====================================
In the /etc/molrc file:
netdev: tap0
The ethertap device should be configured
by something like
# Configuring tap0
ifconfig tap0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up arp
# Configure masquerading
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ipchains -M -S 7200 10 160
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQ
Note that MacOS should be configured to use the IP address
192.168.1.2 and the 192.168.1.1 address should
be specified as the gateway. It is a good idea to
add these addresses to /etc/hosts to avoid nameserver
lookups.
It is possible to use appletalk over the tap-device if
one compiles the tap-module with multicast support (edit
the source!). Also, netatalk typically needs then to
be properly configured.
Cheers,
/Samuel
