Re: [MirageOS-devel] mirage-net-unix problems



Actually, I just tried it and I have the same problem with tap0 not
being persistent on Ubuntu 14.04, and this is because
https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-tuntap hasn't been released yet since
PR #9.

However, I don't have any "terminating" problem with tap0, so I think
that problem is most likely unrelated to the persistence.
