Re: [Qemu-devel] BSD network[repost]

Sorry Alex,
I meant to sent this email to the list.


looks like nameserver isn't being set properly for some reason
http://glek.net/~taras/netbsd-dhcp.png is what I get over dhcp.
When I set the networking info by hand and try to ping 10.0.2.2 I get
"ne2: remove transmit DMA failed to complete". However see below.

As reported earlier, this doesn't produce a working qemu here
However
make CC="gcc  -fno-strict-aliasing " seems to to make networking work! I
get nice download speeds too.

Thanks a lot,
