Afaik gnunet uses tun/tap when available[0]. My limited knowledge about
qemu I assumed that those modules in the way I can configure guix so far
do not exist in the way I might want them in the vm (maybe) (different
story, different problem).
As far as my goals are concerned, this try and and error of something as
simple as a stupid ping is slowing me down in developing guix services
for my roadmap items.

I'm very much interested, throw anything at me which helps me to solve
this somehow.
