There are three approaches to networking with Basilisk II:

(instead of the ones given in the example above).

3. Access the network through a "tuntap" interface.

The "ethernet card description" must be set to "tun".

TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user
|
||||
space programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point
|
||||
or Ethernet device, which instead of receiving packets from a
|
||||
physical media, receives them from user space program and
|
||||
instead of sending packets via physical media writes them to
|
||||
the user space program.

A virtual network configuration script is required and the
|
||||
default is /usr/local/BasiliskII/tunconfig unless you specify
|
||||
a different file with the "etherconfig" item.
|
||||
|
||||
This script requires you that "sudo" is properly configured
|
||||
so that "/sbin/ifconfig" and "/sbin/iptables" can be executed
|
||||
as root. Otherwise, you can still write a helper script which
|
||||
invokes your favorite program to enhance a user priviledges.
|
||||
e.g. in a KDE environment, kdesu can be used as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|

exec /usr/bin/kdesu -c /path/to/tunconfig $1 $2
