364      The "ethernet card description" is the name of an Ethernet interface.

365 >    There are four approaches to networking with Basilisk II:
366  
367        1. Direct access to an Ethernet card via the "sheep_net" kernel module.
368           The "ethernet card description" must be the name of a real Ethernet
# Line 432 | Line 432 | ether <ethernet card description>
432           your network administrator about the nets and zones you can use
433           (instead of the ones given in the example above).
434  
435 +      3. Access the network through a "tuntap" interface.
436 +         The "ethernet card description" must be set to "tun".
437 +
438 +         TUN/TAP provides packet reception and transmission for user
439 +         space programs.  It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point
440 +         or Ethernet device, which instead of receiving packets from a
441 +         physical media, receives them from user space program and
442 +         instead of sending packets via physical media writes them to
443 +         the user space program.
444 +
445 +         Prerequesties:
446 +         - Make sure the "tun" kernel module is loaded
447 +           # modprobe tun
448 +         - Make sure IP Fordwarding is enabled on your system
449 +           # echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
450 +
451 +         A virtual network configuration script is required and the
452 +         default is /usr/local/BasiliskII/tunconfig unless you specify
453 +         a different file with the "etherconfig" item.
454 +
455 +         This script requires you that "sudo" is properly configured
456 +         so that "/sbin/ifconfig" and "/sbin/iptables" can be executed
457 +         as root. Otherwise, you can still write a helper script which
458 +         invokes your favorite program to enhance a user priviledges.
459 +         e.g. in a KDE environment, kdesu can be used as follows:
460 +
461 +           #!/bin/sh
462 +           exec /usr/bin/kdesu -c /path/to/tunconfig $1 $2
463 +
464 +      4. Access the network through the user mode network stack.
465 +         (the code and this documentation come from QEMU)
466 +
467 +         By setting the "ethernet card description" to "slirp",
468 +         Basilisk II uses a completely user mode network stack (you
469 +         don't need root priviledges to use the virtual network). The
470 +         virtual network configuration is the following:
471 +
472 +           Basilisk II <------> Firewall/DHCP server <-----> Internet
473 +           (10.0.2.x)      |         (10.0.2.2)
474 +                           |
475 +                           ----> DNS server (10.0.2.3)
476 +                           |
477 +                           ----> SMB server (10.0.2.4)
478 +
479 +         Basilisk II behaves as if it was behind a firewall which
480 +         blocks all incoming connections. You can use a DHCP client to
481 +         automatically configure the network in Basilisk II.
482 +
483 +         In order to check that the user mode network is working, you
484 +         can ping the address 10.0.2.2 and verify that you got an
485 +         address in the range 10.0.2.x from the Basilisk II virtual
486 +         DHCP server.
487 +
488 +         Note that ping is not supported reliably to the internet as
489 +         it would require root priviledges. It means you can only ping
490 +         the local router (10.0.2.2).
491 +
492 +         When using the built-in TFTP server, the router is also the
493 +         TFTP server.
494 +
495    FreeBSD:
496      The "ethertap" method described above also works under FreeBSD, but since
497      no-one has found the time to write a section for this manual, you're on
# Line 444 | Line 504 | ether <ethernet card description>
504      not an Ethernet device, Basilisk II will display a warning message and
505      disable Ethernet networking.
506  
507 +  Mac OS X:
508 +    The "slirp" method described above now seems to work.
509 +
510 +
511    See the next item for an alternative way to do networking with Basilisk II.

588    error alerts. All errors will then be reported to stdout. The default
589    is "false".
590  
591 + keyboardtype <keyboard-id>
592 +
593 +  Specifies the keyboard type that BasiliskII should report to the MacOS.
594 +  The default is "5" which is a "Apple Extended Keyboard II (ISO)",
595 +  but many other numbers are understood by most versions of the MacOS
596 +  (e.g. 11 is a "Macintosh Plus Keyboard with keypad",
597 +        13 is a "Apple PowerBook Keyboard (ISO)" )
