Can you try bisecting between 1.7 and 2.0 with git?

Title:
  Networking in qemu 2.0.0 and beyond is not compatible with Open
  Solaris (Illumos) 5.11

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  The networking code in qemu in versions 2.0.0 and beyond is non-
  functional with Solaris/Illumos 5.11 images.

  Building 1.7.1, 2.0.0, 2.0.2, 2.1.2,and 2.2.0rc1with the following
  standard Slackware config:

  # From Slackware build tree . . . =

  ./configure \
    --prefix=3D/usr \
    --libdir=3D/usr/lib64 \
    --sysconfdir=3D/etc \
    --localstatedir=3D/var \
    --enable-gtk \
    --enable-system \
    --enable-kvm \
    --disable-debug-info \
    --enable-virtfs \
    --enable-sdl \
    --audio-drv-list=3Dalsa,oss,sdl,esd \
    --enable-libusb \
    --disable-vnc \
    --target-list=3Dx86_64-linux-user,i386-linux-user,x86_64-softmmu,i386-s=
oftmmu \
    --enable-spice \
    --enable-usb-redir =


  =

  And attempting to run the same VM image with the following command (or vi=
a virt-manager):

  macaddress=3D"DE:AD:BE:EF:3F:A4"

  qemu-system-x86_64 nex4x -cdrom /dev/cdrom -name "Nex41" -cpu Westmere
  -machine accel=3Dkvm -smp 2 -m 4000 -net nic,macaddr=3D$macaddress  -net =
bridge,br=3Db
  r0 -net dump,file=3D/usr1/tmp/<FILENAME> -drive file=3Dnex4x_d1 -drive fi=
le=3Dnex4x_d2
   -enable-kvm

  Gives success on 1.7.1, and a deaf VM on all subsequent versions.

  Notable in validating my config, is that a Windows 7 image runs
  cleanly with networking on *all* builds, so my configuration appears
  to be good - qemu just hates Solaris at this point.

  Watching with wireshark (as well as pulling network traces from qemu
  as noted above) it appears that the notable difference in the two
  configs is that for some reason, Solaris gets stuck arping for it's
  own interface on startup, and never really comes on line on the
  network.  If other hosts attempt to ping the Solaris instance, they
  can successfully arp the bad VM, but not the other way around.
