[Qemu-devel] NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

[Horst Schlonz <horst.schlonz@gmx.de>]

hi,

i have qemu 0.6.1 and a debian host system. i started qemu like this:
root@host # chmod 666 /dev/net/tun
root@host # logout
user@host # qemu -hda debiansarge.img
Password:
Connected to host network interface: tun0

i have installed debian sarge as guest system before. on the host i have
a tun0 interface:
user@host # ifconfig tun0
ifconfig tun0
tun0      Protokoll:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 00:FF:58:37:D9:25
          inet Adresse:172.20.0.1 Bcast:172.20.255.255 Maske:255.255.0.0
          [...]

now, on the guest i setup networking:
root@guest # ifconfig eth0 172.20.0.2 netmask 255.255.0.0 up
root@guest # ifconfig eth0
eth0      Protokoll:Ethernet  Hardware Adresse 52:54:00:12:34:56
          inet Adresse:172.20.0.2 Bcast:172.20.255.255 Maske:255.255.0.0
          [...]

the problem is:
root@guest # ping -c1 172.20.0.1
PING 172.20.0.1 (172.20.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data

can anyone confirm this? is something wrong with the emulated
realtek-network-device?
