Hello Guix!
‘guix system disk-image -s armhf-linux …’ currently fails with something like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

(gnu linux vm) has this:
;; NIC is not supported on ARM "virt" machine, so use a user mode
;; network stack instead.
,@(if target-arm32?
'("-device" "virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet"
"-netdev" "user,id=mynet")
'("-net" "nic,model=virtio"))
However this trick doesn’t give us a network interface controller, AFAICS.
I tried various QEMU options (including “-net nic,model=virtio”, which
QEMU doesn’t reject), I tried loading good’ol “e1000.ko” in the guest,
things like that, but I failed to get networking in the ARM VM.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
