Or, at least, when I follow all of the directions on the page, I can boot qemu with RH9 Linux guest, and: - sshing from the host into the guest works. - pinging the guest's gateway from the guest works. - pinging the host's real IP address from the guest works. - pinging anything outside of the host didn't work, but I haven't spent much time yet trying to figure out why. - DNS inside the guest didn't seem to work either.. but that's likely related to the previous item. I believe the remaining problems are routing problems that are caused by some failures in the ifup.sh script that comes with the OSX tun/tap driver. And, since the machine I tried this on isn't mine, I don't really have the opportunity to try all kinds of other stuff, nor dig into what's wrong with the ifup.sh script, but the co-worker of mine whose laptop it is said he'll see what he can figure out. So, I think at least the qemu patch works as written. Can we commit that?
