-### Networking
-To enable networking on the FVP via a host network interface, you will need to
-install the following package(s):
-
-**Ubuntu 18.04:**
-
-    sudo apt-get install libvirt-bin net-tools
-
-**Ubuntu 20.04:**
-
-    sudo apt-get install libvirt-dev libvirt-daemon qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils net-tools
-
-Once that is installed for your OS version, setup tap0 using the following
-commands:
-
-    sudo virsh net-start default
-    sudo ip tuntap add dev tap0 mode tap user $(whoami)
-    sudo ifconfig tap0 0.0.0.0 promisc up
-    sudo brctl addif virbr0 tap0
-
-To clean up the tap0 interface on the host use the following commands:
-
-    sudo brctl delif virbr0 tap0
-    sudo ip link set virbr0 down
-    sudo brctl delbr virbr0
-    sudo virsh net-destroy default
-    sudo ip link delete tap0
