QEMU networking quirkiness on 7.0

[Jim Stapleton]

OK, my stupid jokes aside, I got this result:

I tried to create tap4 to fix this, then it complained about tap5 not
existing. It creates the /dev/tap device it wants when there is an
error.
I figure I made a  mistake (obviously), any ideas what?

Thanks,
