What I can not understand is the "tunctl_user uml-net" line: what is
"tunctl_user"? The following is the example of my "tap0" definition on
/etc/network/interfaces: in my case the user "ste" belongs to the
"uml-net" group and is the "launcher" of my uml instances.

iface tap0 inet static
        address 10.0.1.100
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 10.0.1.0
        pre-up tunctl -u ste
        post-down tunctl -d ste
        pre-up iptables -t NAT -A POSTROUTIG -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
        pre-up bash -c 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward'

Can you check this?

Cheers
