2. # ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc up
3. # ifconfig tap0 0.0.0.0 promisc up
4. # brctl addbr br0
5. # brctl addif br0 eth0
6. # brctl addif br0 tap0
7. # ifconfig br0 192.168.0.1

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
