Qemu tap0 error

[Vikram Goyal]

Hello,

While trying to run qemu, I can't set up tap device for guest virt
machine. Manually creating the tap0 device has also not helped.

[vikram at f7host xp]$ sudo qemu -m 300 -net tap -localtime -kernel-kqemu hostname=winhost -usb -cdrom /dev/scd0 -hda xp.img

/etc/qemu-ifup: could not launch network script

Could not initialize device 'tap'

/etc/qemu-ifup is not included in any packages. How should I go about
it.

Thanks!
