So I was going through the Virtualbox tutorial on setting up virtualbox to get a real ip through a bridge. The problem goes into the first script when they want to open a TUN/TAP network interface, the script says it can't find the brctl command:

Code: Select all

# bash bridge.sh
Set 'tap1' persistent and owned by uid 500
bridge.sh: line 11: brctl: command not found
bridge.sh: line 12: brctl: command not found
SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
Cannot find device "br0"
Cannot find device "br0

rpmseek.com, advanced search, search for package containing the command as filename.

1. Go to http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/dl-sf.html? and download uml_utilities_20040406.tar.bz2

Direct link : http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/user ... 06.tar.bz2?

2. Extract and install (no compile needed) (Extracts a directory called "tools")

Code: Select all

tar xjf uml_utilities_20040406.tar.bz2
cd tools
make install

If your using debian or ubuntu or something debian-like:
sudo apt-get install bridge-utils
