How are you creating the tap0? Are you sure it's connected to the
VM? Can you give it a static IP address and ping the VM with it? (And
vice-versa).
Try giving the tap0 an IP address of 192.168.73.1/255.255.255.0,
and the corresponding interface in the guest an address of
192.168.73.2/255.255.255.0, then ping each interface from both sides.
That will tell you if you've got some form of network running in the
first place. Then you can move on to getting bridging working.

As far as I know, the bridging implementation is entirely in
software, so there's no hardware support to go missing.
