Assunto: Re: [DNG] To use a preconfigured (5.4 / Ubuntu) kernel config file to recompile the (5.4) kernel for Devuan.
I've got the kernel config file of Debian (running with the kernel 5.4) for
armhf on the github of hexdump0815,here :

https://github.com/hexdump0815/imagebuilder/releases/download/200206-01/chromebook_snow-armv7l-debian.img.gz

and I have enabled all the KVM entries,hoping that the entries for iptables
or nftables were all selected and...I've been lucky :

root@devuan:~# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
ok

The iptables now work. KVM works. But the tuptap network interface does not
work. So,there are further missing entries on the kernel file.

root@devuan:~# ip tuntap add tap0 mode tap
open: No such file or directory
