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 524 | Line 584 | nogui <"true" or "false">
584    error alerts. All errors will then be reported to stdout. The default
585    is "false".
586  
587 + keyboardtype <keyboard-id>
588 +
589 +  Specifies the keyboard type that BasiliskII should report to the MacOS.
590 +  The default is "5" which is a "Apple Extended Keyboard II (ISO)",
591 +  but many other numbers are understood by most versions of the MacOS
592 +  (e.g. 11 is a "Macintosh Plus Keyboard with keypad",
593 +        13 is a "Apple PowerBook Keyboard (ISO)" )
