Could you just run the modified pfinet directly on gnumach? So we can
test which component has the problem. Of course, you have to use the bpf
patch I sent to the mailing list.
Do you suggest trying the following (where pfinet is the path to the
modified pfinet executable):
# settrans -a /servers/socket/2 pfinet -i /dev/eth0 -a <ip> -g <ip> -m
<mask>
If so, it fails with pfinet: eth0: (ipc/mig) bad request message ID.
Does it work for you?
This is the most basic setup.
I bet you didn't run devnode on /dev/eth0:-)
eth-mulitplexer needs to set the ethernet card to the promiscuous mode.
I wonder if that can cause the problem.
Unfourtunately, when I try googling for ``qemu'' and ``promiscuous''
together, I get the information about setting up bridged networking
with the guest system and nothing about possible problems with turning
the emulated network card in promiscuous mode :-(
I should test again whether they can work if the Ethernet card cannot be
set in promiscuous mode.
I look into the code of eth-multiplexer again. It seems that
eth-multiplexer should work even if the ethernet card cannot be set in
promiscuous mode.
