You have to be using the TUN/TAP driver. I wonder if it would be of interest to embed a SOCKS proxy or something similar in QEMU. Then you could truly get by without having to use any special drivers in the host environment, since QEMU would use the sockets API for network communication instead of driver. You would have configuration to do within the image to make the networking apps use SOCKS though. It's a trade-off, but in those situations where you don't admin your own box, it could be the only option. -- John. --=-zg+ZnVTzaba0NYMBahGw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBAcvGOfY9MuGaNkEERAv20AKCzycGyV5elgcBcd7Ad9dpuH1L6NgCeJzU6 UN1ZzzDcBPr8br693kgbVJE= =UIzF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-zg+ZnVTzaba0NYMBahGw--
