1 Hello!

3 This is the script I use to start my VirtualBox:
4
5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 #if you previously loaded the driver, you don't need
7 #the following line.
8 modprobe vboxdrv
9 tunctl -t tap1 -u root
10 brctl addbr br0
11 ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc
12 brctl addif br0 eth0
13 dhcpcd br0
14 brctl addif br0 tap1
15 ifconfig tap1 up
16 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
17
18 Then as a normal user (which is in the vboxusers group) I simply start
19 and configure my VirtualBox to use 'tap1'.
20
21 $VirtualBox

24 Hope this helps.
