[Qemu-devel] [Bug 590552] [NEW] New default network card doesn't work with tap networking

[Gabriele Tozzi]

Public bug reported:

Unfortunately, I can provide very little information.

Hope this will be useful anyway.

I've upgraded qemu using debian apt to lastest unstable (QEMU PC
emulator version 0.12.4 (Debian 0.12.4+dfsg-2), Copyright (c) 2003-2008
Fabrice Bellard): looks like at some point the default network card for
-net nic option was switched to intel gigabit instead of the good old
ne2k_pci.

I was using -net tap -net nic options and my network stopped working.
When not working,
- tcpdump on the host shows me taht all packets are sent and received fine from guest
- tcpdump on guest shows that packets from host are NOT received

obviously, both host tap interface and guest eth0 interfaces, routing
tables, dns, firewall, etc... are well configured.

Having banged my head for a while, I finally stopped the host and
started it again using -net nic,model=ne2k_pci option, then my network
magically started working again.

[Thomas Huth]

Seems like you were using the QEMU from your Linux distribution
(Debian). If you want to have support for that version, you should use
the bug tracker from your distro instead. Otherwise, can you please try
again with the latest version from http://wiki.qemu-project.org/Download
to see whether the bug is already fixed there? Thanks!

Thank you for your interest but after more than 6 years I can't even
remember what this bug was about.
