Excellent, thanks Ben and Juergen.
FWIW, the RTL8139 NIC in current Qemu /ought/ to work with the 'rtls'
driver included with Solaris. I havn't managed to test this yet as
Qemu CVS /seems/ still to have timeout issues with Solaris NV 39
(booting from the install CD at least).
Also, there was an AMD PCNet patch for Qemu (by Anthony Curtis).
Which (possibly) Xen are using, but it is not included with Qemu.
Solaris has a driver for this, based on the newer 'GLDv2' NIC driver
framework.
I tried quickly (ie i spent 5 minutes on it) porting Anthony's patch
to the updated VLAN-client framework in Qemu, it gets recognised by
the Solaris miniroot, but I must have missed something / made a
mistake as Qemu crashes.
regards,
