I updated the patch but I had to make choices and I wanted to discuss
them here. As I have no time these days I had not yet posted it here
:/

The patch is on :
http://cvs.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/contrib-SPECS/qemu/qemu-0.8.0-pcnet.patch6

There are 2 points I'd like to discuss :

- the way to have several cards of different models at the same time
I added an enum {NIC_NE2000, NIC_PCNET} NICModel and the a field model
in NICInfo

- the options syntax
I added "-net pcnet[,vlan=n][,macaddr=addr]\n" but would be better
having an unique option and a way to specify model

Hi,

I have tried using the pcnet32 patch with qemu cvs however the qemu instance 
running debian testing (etch) never seems to process ARP replies.  Using the 
ne2k-pci adaptor I have no problems.

I am using vde & vdeq and I have logged the traffic using ethereal and the 
qemu instance constantly asks for the hw address of a specific server (used 
for NIS).

It has the hw address of the dhcp server I use in its arp cache but not 
anything else.

If I add the hw address for the NIS server into the arp cache manually then it 
can ping the server however the server does'nt know where the qemu instance 
is.

Any comments?

Regards,

Iain
