Ooh, undocumented options. We hatessss them, my precioussss. I do believe that it would be wise to write something about this option, and what it does. This will at least prevent _some_ users from asking questions (unfortunately, only those users who read the docs). > Some other workarounds (besides starting qemu w/the > -pci option) include remapping the interrupts for the > ne* cards in the qemu/hw/pc.c file, and recompiling > qemu, or possibly, switching the interrupt on the fly > that FreeBSD uses for the NIC w/the sysctl command (I > haven't tried that.) Thanks for the information; I will try this suggestion in tandem with the other suggestions that I've received. --=20 I abhor a system designed for the "user", if that word is a coded pejorative meaning "stupid and unsophisticated". -- Ken Thompson - Unix is user friendly.
