Thanks, StefanTo me, this doesn't look like a stable branch material: this adds is a new feature, not a bugfix. Which guests benefit and how does one use the routing emulation?The first mail in this thread should answer your question. It depends on your point of view whether better emulation adds a new feature or fixes a bug:When in doubt, excercise caution. But in the end, I think it's your call: do you want this in 0.13 stable, too?
Yes. The patch is strictly limited to eepro100.c, and even there its risk is limited to a highly specialized functionality. On the other side we get a stable version 0.13 with increased usability for a lot of people who use qemu with eepro100 to emulate their routers. Therefore it would be good to have this patch in 0.13 as well. Regards, Stefan
