[Pkg-vsquare-devel] Bug#466363: vde2: Document how to still use TAP interface with manual method

[Raphael Hertzog]

Package: vde2
Version: 2.2.0-pre2-1
Severity: wishlist

In README.Debian it would be nice to explain how to use the "manual"
method to setup an unconfigured TAP interface linked to a vde_switch (and
not only the setup with any real interface).

I just did this because that TAP interface is part of a bridge and I
really wanted the TAP interface. Thus I used:

auto qemu
iface qemu inet manual
    vde2-switch -t qemu

Cheers,
