I poked at this a bit more, and got the problem to be more explicit:
$ ~/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 \
-kernel ~/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage -no-reboot -hda squeeze.ext3 \
-append "root=/dev/hda rw" \
-net nic,model=e1000,macaddr=52:54:00:11:11:11 -net user \
-redir tcp:9876::22 \
-net nic,model=e1000,macaddr=52:54:00:22:22:22 \
-net tap,ifname=kvm0,script=no,downscript=no
Before the above commit the 11:11:11 interface becomes -net user (and
thus dhclient works on it), and the 22:22:22 interface becomes -net tap
and needs a static IP.
After the above commit, 22:22:22 gets 10.0.2.16 (instead of 10.0.2.15),
and 11:11:11 doesn't respond to dhcp.
Would anyone like to explain what's going on, and what I _should_ be
doing here to get predictable behavior? I deleted
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules when it first started
misbehaving, but that's not it. The association between -net nic and
-net user/tap no longer seems to be in the order the command line
options go.
