.SH DESCRIPTION
This script adds user-mode a tap device to a bridge, and creates the bridge
in case it doesn't exist already.
The script first checks whether 'br0' exists, if not \fBip_create_br\fR(1)
is executed. Than a tap device is created, named \fITAPNAME\fP or 'tap0'
by default. The tap device will be accessible for the user which executes
the script. Finally the created tap device is connected to bridge 'br0'.
The script should be started as normal user, but uses \fBsudo\fR(8) to
execute priviledged commands and might therefore ask for the user password.
