"""
Hi,

May I suggest please that document http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/uml.xml
be modified to support UML networking configuration for 2.6 host kernel?
Namely, ethertap module is replaced by module tun (CONFIG_TUN=m) and the
UML command line becomes:

# linux ubd0=root_fs ubdl=swap_fs eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.0.254

(old cmd: # linux ubd0=root_fs ubd1=swap_fs eth0=ethertap,tap0,,192.168.0.254)
