i'm trying to get a bridged ( tap ) network running within a vps using the same techniques outlined in a tutorial for doing the same on a jvds virtual server [1]. i understand i need to get bridging support compiled into the kernel, which i'm working on [2] Smile but while i'm working on that i'm also having problems starting the "dummy" network adapter. if i issue the command in the tutorial [3] within a vps i get an error [4].

is it possible to create a "fake" lan nic as described in the jvds howto with openvz?
