But in any case this might not be a good idea as it will only work on Linux hosts. 78815 1 joshuagloe 2017-12-22 17:07:05 +0000 Enabling TAP devices in the container is difficult on Linux (requires root and doesn't play nicely with shared systems) and won't work at all on Windows or macOS. Instead we'll need to add slirp support as in https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10713 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 10713 ***
