Hi, the bug can be reproduced like that: > QEMU 5.1.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information > (qemu) netdev_add > type=tap,id=net0,script=/home/and/SRCS/qemu/ifup.sh,downscript=no > (qemu) info network > hub 0 > \ hub0port1: __org.qemu.net1: index=0,type=user,net=10.0.2.0,restrict=off > \ hub0port0: e1000e.0: > index=0,type=nic,model=e1000e,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 > dnet0: index=0,type=nic,model=virtio-net-pci,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:57 > net0: > index=0,type=tap,ifname=tap0,script=/home/and/SRCS/qemu/ifup.sh,downscript=no > (qemu) netdev_del net0 > (qemu) info network > hub 0 > \ hub0port1: __org.qemu.net1: index=0,type=user,net=10.0.2.0,restrict=off > \ hub0port0: e1000e.0: > index=0,type=nic,model=e1000e,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 > dnet0: index=0,type=nic,model=virtio-net-pci,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:57 > (qemu) netdev_add > type=tap,id=net0,script=/home/and/SRCS/qemu/ifup.sh,downscript=no > Try "help netdev_add" for more information > (qemu) info network > hub 0 > \ hub0port1: __org.qemu.net1: index=0,type=user,net=10.0.2.0,restrict=off > \ hub0port0: e1000e.0: > index=0,type=nic,model=e1000e,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 > dnet0: index=0,type=nic,model=virtio-net-pci,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:57 > (qemu) > > Its still actual bug - I've checked it with the master(2c6605389c1f76973d92b69b85d40d94b8f1092c).
