[Qemu-devel] AMD PC-Net emulation

[Antony T Curtis]

I have a partially working emulation of a AMD PCNet PCI ethernet
adaptor.. It currently works with FreeBSD guest

So far, it looks a little better than the current NE2000 NIC... ping
times are more consistant and (when its working) no dropped packets.

Fixed the problems with it working with WinXP...

Ping times from another machine to a FreeBSD QEMU instance averages as
low as 0.7mS ... And without the packet loss I have been experiencing
with the previous NIC implementation. A ping flood against a WinXP QEMU
instance doesn't drop a packet with an average response of 25mS (but it
does max out the CPU)

Attached is the source... A nicer patch will be available soon.
