[Simh] SIMH Networking Wants TAP Device Now?

I have been using SIMH successfully for quite some time on a Raspberry Pi,
with my network adapters connected to eth0. However I recently bought a new
Raspberry Pi 3, now I get this:

 

MicroVAX 3900 simulator V4.0-0 Beta        git commit id: f081ddf9

NVR: buffering file in memory

libpcap version 1.6.2

Eth: Must specify actual tap device name (i.e. tap:tap0)

./microvax3900.ini-29> attach xq eth0

File open error

 

I don't have any TAP interfaces defined on either Pi, to be honest I don't
know a whole lot about them and I am not sure if I need to define one or
why.

 

Any ideas why it won't attach to eth0 anymore?

 

Regards

 

Rob
