Boston didn't bring up any netcard by default, this is not so convenient fo= r users who are verifying network related functionalities on this board. As the linux kernel has already supported virtio_net, now add a virtio netc= ard for boston, to make virtio work properly, please: 1. set virtio net options in linux kernel, saying CONFIG_VIRTIO && CONFIG_V= IRTIO_PCI && CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET 2. specify model=3Dvirtio when you start boston in qemu. Best regards, Tommy
