Hi,

Has anyone tried to use many Qemu devices/NICs at one time with the same
guest? Ie let the guest think it has say 3 or 4 virtual NICs? I see that
after about 2, it seems to be a little unstable - I got a em0 watchdog
timeout once.=20
So, I wanted to know is there any known issue with having more than 2
emulated devices at one time? Has anyone used many, and what's the max that
anyone has used with stability?

Anjali
