This is not necessary (the /dev/tap0 interface is obsolete, the
tap device is accessed through netlink).

I'm not sure about ip_dynaddr and defrag, but I think this is correct.

OK.

Since 0.9.50, this should *not* be done. MOL handles ARP
requests automatically (addig an explicit ARP entry might
break networking).

OK (assuming you have set IP 192.168.1.2 and netmask 255.255.255.0
and gateway 192.168.1.1).
