[Qemu-devel] Andrew Curtis' PCNet Patch built on MingW

[Garth Dahlstrom <ironstorm@gmail.com>]

Hi All, 

It took me some time, but I was finally able to compile Andrew Curtis
PCNet patch against QEMU 0.6.0 on MingW...

The good news is it almost works... that is to say it compiles and
detects under a guest linux when using the -nic-pcnet commandline
parameter for qemu.

The bad news is it's broken, it does not actually dhcp down the
10.0.2.15 address and produces 'Bad SWSTYLE=0x04' on the console.

I suspect my brutal handling of the PACKED attribute in pcnet.h is the
cause of this problem, but am unsure.  I should proably warn you all
that, I'm not a C programmer and haven't coded it for about 7 years,
so it's rather a hack job that it compiles... :)

If anyone who builds on Windows would have a go at seeing if they can
figure out what's messed up, I'd really appreciated it.

Cheers,

-G
