Hi,

Yes I have tested kvm-79 on RHEL 5.2 i386 host (with kernel 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5PAE) and Yes it is working properly (only tested with Linux guests).

In order to build a bridged network configuration for VMs and host, I just had to build the *tunctl* command (got sources from UML project http://www.user-mode-linux.org/) that was missing in RHEL.

You are perfectly right, I just need the *tunctl* command because I use to create the tap interfaces before launching the VMs and instruct qemu to not create it.

example:
- create the tap1 intreface with tunctl
- put it on the bridge
- run qemu ... -net tap,ifname=tap1,script=no,downscript=no ...

Of course, you may also use the scripts callback to simplify the process.

That shouldn't be necessary, see here:

(These bridging instructions don't require libvirt)

Cheers,
