kvm-55 and ne2k-pci

kvm-55 and ne2k-pci

[Jerry Geis]

I installed redhat7.3 and redhat 9 an a qemu-img with 12G each.

When I am running the ne2k-pci the network stalls.
I tried both redhat 7.3 and redhat 9. both stall.

I then tried to change to use "-net nic,model=rtl8139"
and I could not get the network to even start up on redhat 9.
I re-ran kudzu to detect the new network card - it did, I rebooted
I got errors trying to bring up eth0.

I am running centos 5.1, AMD 6400+ X2, kvm-55, kernel 2.6.23.9

What might my issue be?

Jerry

The extra -net user did the trick for redhat 9. THanks, I'll try redhat 
7 now.

The network "seemed" slow. ethtool eth0 reports 100m full. when copying all
my files over it was slow. THese were source files (text) not big files 
at all.

-net user is quite slow.  Try -net tap got get better performance, 
though there's much more setup work involved.
