Re: [Qemu-devel] user networking - win xp quest, amd64 linux host

Adrian,

we will be working on this shortly.  In the meantime, where I would 
start is by putting a breakpoint in udp_input() in the file slirp/udp.c, 
and following the flow until it calls bootp_input().  If it gets that 
far, it means it's probably decoding the UDP packet correctly and 
detects it as a DHCP/BOOTP request.  You might want to also study 
slirp/ip.h and slirp/udp.h to make sure all the values are represented 
in the correct bit length.

P.S. we also noticed the same problem on the IBM iSeries PowerPC host 
(which is the "new" AS/400 running Linux), so perhaps it is indeed 
something to do specifically with 64-bit hosts.  But again, this is just 
a guess, until we can debug and pinpoint the issue.
