Description Stefan00 2021-07-06 10:21:26 UTC
Adding a TAP device which has a score ("-") in the name breaks the startup scripts.

examples:

net.tap-VM1 -> error
net.tap_VM1 -> working
net.tapVM1  -> working

Unfortunately, I can not run tests using other devices than TAP. So at this point I can not test if other interface types are affected as well.

Please clarify whether this is a bug or expected behavior. If it's a naming convention limitation, then a note should be added to Netifrc documentation.
