Notes relating to the Minix Operating System.

Setting up networking in Minix using tuntap.

For some reason you may want to run Minix on some emulation software and get networking support. Here are some ways you can do it:

Bochs

Add this to your bochsrc(5)?:

ne2k: ioaddr=0x240, irq=9, mac=fe:fd:00:00:00:01, ethmod=tuntap, ethdev=/dev/net/tun, script=/path/to/tunconfig

When installing Minix, tell it to install the ne2k networking driver.

You can change the IP address of your Minix install with:

ifconfig -I /dev/ip -h 192.168.1.1

And everything should just work
