A better way to do that would be to install the vde package (it's in
dapper, not sure about breezy); you can then add the user who will be
running qemu to the vde-net group, and they can then start qemu with
something like:

vdeqemu -sock /var/run/vde/tap0.ctl -hda my_disk -boot c 

Ie, no root privileges needed.

Additionally, it makes it easy to add a permanent interface for your
QEMU machine in the /etc/network/interfaces file:

auto tap1
iface tap1 inet static
	address 10.1.6.1
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	network 10.1.6.0
	broadcast 10.1.6.255
	vde-switch vde-net

Cheers,

Paul
