Hello,

sorry if you receive this email twice because you are in both mailing lists.

I successfully compiled a OpenWRT UML Image and used it in the Netkit [0]

I got some notes here:
http://wiki.ninux.org/OpenWRT-UML-Netkit

For the OpenWRT-devs:
I'm using OpenWRT trunk because I can't compile the UML for OpenWRT
8.09.1 :( Looks like there is some problem when compiling uClibc,
there are many headers files missing. This happens on my x86_64
host... but trying on a x86 32bit host the 8.09.1 works.

With trunk it compiled the all thing on x86_64 (just a little hack
because scripts were expecting a lib64 folder)

Basically what I did is some changes to inittab and I had to disable
the kmod-mac8011-hwsim that was causing some weird problems ... netkit
machines not talking to each other.

For the Netkit devs:
right now I'm working to integrate the netkit-phase1 and netkit-phase2 scripts.

there is another thing actually not working, connecting Netkit virtual
hosts with tap (with the --eth0=tap,ip1,ip2 syntax).

So the question to the Netkit guys is, how to make the tap feature
work ? It is necessary to have the netkit-phasex scripts working first
?
