(Sorry, my first posting included some gnulib droppings in the patch. This removes that, everything else is the same.) As far as I can tell, there's no reason to format the device string in brAddTap(). Delegate the job to TUNSETIFF, thereby removing the loop and the MAX_TAP_ID artificial limit. This patch allows me to get 421 guests running before hitting other limits.
