How to use TAP networking for VBOX 2.2

Post by monty_hall »

FreeBSD team is still working on brdiged networking. Until then, if I create a bridged tap connection(tap0) myself, how do I get VBOX to use this? I'm presuming there's some config file or I'll have to launch the VM from the command line to use my tap connection.

Thanks,

Monty

Try to compile the code with VBOX_WITH_NETFLT=. The code is disabled but maintained at least for Linux hosts. Search for occurrences of VBOX_WITH_NETFLT in src/VBox/Main and add the missing FreeBSD code.
