[arch-general] May be add /etc/rc.d/vboxtun to Virtualbox package?
What you think about it? Or create additional package with this script, that depend from uml_utilities

This is from wikipedia page script -
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_VirtualBox_Networking . It
creates Virtualbox virtual network device (to do bridges). IMHO it is not
good that users have to manually create /etc/rc.d/* file to enable key
package's feature.

From what I understand, /etc/conf.d/bridges has been deprecated or at least doesn't work since /etc/rc.d/network was changed. I think the whole thing could probably be replaced with a netcfg script which will also configure your network. Considering this rc.d script requires a bridge device to be setup, a netcfg script would probably make more sense. I will look into this later.
There is a section in the netcfg wiki page showing how to create a bridge
interface.

Then the name should be "vboxtap". "tun" is a tunneling device, which does nothing more than IP routing, whereas "tap" is a real bridge device, which works on layer 2 according to the OSI model. Best regards, Karol Babioch

what does it do? virtualbox is capable of creating bridged network interfaces, as well as nat, host-only ones. and it is not an upstream script. is it really necessary to use this script? best regards,
