[Qemu-devel] Networking documentation for a Mac OS X guest

[Programmingkid]

I would like to make a little tutorial on how to make networking work for a Mac OS X guest. Where would you suggest I put such documentation? The qemu-doc file is what I was thinking about using. 

The bulk of the information would be to add "-usb -net none -netdev user,id=mynet0 -device usb-net,netdev=mynet0" to QEMU's arguments. I still haven't figured out how to share a folder between the host and the guest. When I do, that information would probably be placed near this tutorial.

Hmm. I think for "doing stuff for a particular guest" type tutorials
we've got a few links and pages on the wiki; perhaps an entry in
http://wiki.qemu.org/Manual under "for users that target for a specific
platform" for OSX guests in general? Then you could have a page giving
suggestions for the command line in general as well as networking
in particular. (The existing links in that subsection are all
external but there's no reason we couldn't have an internal-to-the-wiki
link there too.)

Is it worth setting up per-arch homepages on the wiki? This is something
I've thought about recently since most of the information out on the
internet regarding QEMU's ability to run various systems is badly out of
date with regard to SPARC/PPC. Even better if they could go in the left
hand list with easy to remember URLs like /SPARC, /PPC, /ARM etc...

Sounds like a good idea to me. If you'd like to do it please go ahead :-)

Okay. Here's my initial attempt at a SPARC homepage which contains basic
info, a compatibility table from my OpenBIOS tests and other useful
info: http://wiki.qemu.org/SPARC.

Hopefully this will encourage other maintainers to step forward and do
something similar :)

Excellent job! I will model the PowerPC page after your page. Do you think you could add a few screenshots of qemu-system-sparc running Solaris? Thanks.
