It works fine for me with my own patches... I am using the if_tap with
ng_bridge to allow the QEMU install to connect to the LAN and a change
to /usr/src/sys/net/if_tap.c to remove the suser() check so a non-root
account can open a tap device.

The only problem I have is that it has a relatively high packet loss and
appears to lose interrupts- so it stalls on occasion.
