This means any instance of the base-linux nic_drv tries to configure its tap device with name "tap0" which is denied by the Linux kernel. We could add an optional config option for the tap-device name to support scenarios with several instances of nic_drv on Linux.
Fortunately, I already implemented this. See https://github.com/ValiValpas/genode/commits/master
