I just started using Qemu 6.1 on OpenBSD 3.7. I have not
yet figured out how to connect Qemu to the internet yet.
I don't know if it's because I am not yet setting things up
correctly or because there is a bug in Qemu's ethernet interface
on Openbsd. There exist /dev/tun[0-3] but they all seem to belong
to Openbsd. What does Qemu do when the tuns are already there?

Thanks,
