Ok so I finally got my tunneling down in Gentoo, but the problem I have is when I reboot I am not getting online. I have to do the following everytime. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Code: Select all

tunctl -d tap0
tunctl -b
brctl addifbr0 tap0

Here is my /etc/conf.d/net

Code: Select all

config_br0="dhcp"
bridge_br0="dhcp"
config_tap0="dhcp"

Thanks

I think so interface br0 shouldnt' be with dhcp, just end interfaces.

Two things:

1) You need your tap to be part of your bridge.
2) You can't run a dhcp client on both the tap and the bridge, run it only on the bridge.

Like this:

Code: Select all

tuntap_tap0="tap"
config_tap0="null"

config_eth0="null"

rc_need_br0="net.tap0 net.eth0"
bridge_br0="eth0 tap0"
config_br0="dhcp"
brctl_br0="setfd 0
sethello 0"

Also, make sure all of /etc/init.d/net.{tap0,br0,eth0} exist and are all symlinks to net.lo.
