I never had to manually issue the create command, you should just see it
in the ifconfig -a output.

When qemu starts, "Opened by process id <id>" should be in the ifconfig
output by the tap0 interface.

You'll need to use the /etc/qemuifup or whatever its called, I forget.
Or the command line options to set networking info like netmask, ip,
gateway for the tap.
