You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu-
devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU.
Status in QEMU: Confirmed
Bug description:
Not sure if ultra-strange, nondocumented feature in qemu (or linux kernel) or
really bug: Network card initialization fails if first byte of mac address is
not 00. The problem occurs at least with model=pcnet/rtl8139, in both cases the
network adapter is not usable.
How to reproduce:
* Take standard initrd/kernel (tested with hardy)
* Start qemu (cmd see below) and enter "modprobe pcnet32" at prompt:
qemu -name SetupTest -no-acpi -m 128 -drive file=/dev/null,if=ide,index=0 -net
nic,macaddr=00:22:33:44:55:66,model=pcnet -net user -kernel
vmlinuz-2.6.24-26-generic -initrd initrd.img-2.6.24-26-generic -append
break=premount
You will see "pcnet32 ... at 0x..., 00:22:33:44:55:66
* Do same with mac address 11:22:33:44:55:66
qemu -name SetupTest -no-acpi -m 128 -drive file=/dev/null,if=ide,index=0 -net
nic,macaddr=11:22:33:44:55:66,model=pcnet -net user -kernel
vmlinuz-2.6.24-26-generic -initrd initrd.img-2.6.24-26-generic -append
break=premount
You will see "pcnet32 ... at 0x..., 00:00:00:00:00:00
The network adapter is non-functional, "ip link set eth0 up" does not report
error, but does not work (indicates at least some linux kernel influence)
With the rtl8139 adapter, mac-address in guest is correct, but adapter does not
work either (indicates qemu influence)
