[Pkg-vsquare-devel] Bug#419548: vde2: vde breaks my routing table

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Package: vde2
Version: 2.1.6-1
Severity: important

Reading the README.Debian file, I enable tap1 and tap2 for QEMU stuff as
mentioned.

As soon as I ifup the interfaces, my routing table breaks completely.

Here's the output of route after ifup-ing both the tap interfaces

rrs at maya:~$ route -n

Here's the ifconfig output:

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:500
          RX bytes:53 (53.0 b)  TX bytes:2793 (2.7 KiB)


So finally how would the packets pass ? Throught tap1 or eth1 ?

Thanks,
Ritesh
