The procedure that I use is specified in the UML documentation. In fact, I'm
using something called TUN/TAP (the interface is created with the tunctl
tool) (http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/networking.html), but the
difference between TUN/TAP is not very clear for me... (it always have
worked, so I haven't digged into details too much :)

But maybe I'm going a bit off-topic... :)
