John --
I had looked into this only very slightly. My thoughts were to use
libpcap/libnet to essentially be a generic network adapter that could
take over any network device, with the goal of using that to
read/write from a TAP driver. I'm not sure how the libpcap vs.
winpcap API lines up, and I think (not 100% sure) that winpcap can
write to the device as well, but that was the idea. A command line
switch could specify which network device to control, so I could
concievably run multiple QEMUs with multiple TAP devices.
I spent a week hunting down the networking code in QEMU (hey, I
haven't done *that* much C programming lately) and then, well, life
got busy. I'd love to see this added, though, as it seems much more
stable than the SLIRP in place today.

Hi, all
I'm looking at what it would take to create a QEMU net driver to
interface
with OpenVN's Tap-Win32 driver. So far it looks fairly straightforward to
do. colinux interfaces to Tap-Win32 already. Has anyone else looked into
this?
