QEMU needs /dev/tun0 ?

You're right, I see /dev/tun0 now!

I notice in the docs located here:

  http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-doc.html#SEC10

they say this:

  "You must verify that your host kernel supports the TUN/TAP network 
interfaces: the device `/dev/net/tun' must be present."

Maybe I can make a soft link from /dev/tun0 to to /dev/net/tun0 ??

How do you use "nat" to make QEMU work?

thx
