[Simh] SIMH Networking Wants TAP Device Now?

[Mark Pizzolato]

Hi Rob,

If you want help, more information will be necessary:

1)      The output produced (by make) when you built the simulator

2)      The output of SHOW VERSION when running the simulator

3)      The output of SHOW ETHERNET when running the simulator

4)      The output of "ifconfig -a" before running the simulator, but while running as root as you most likely have been doing all along.

Thanks.

Subject: [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
