what is the simplest way to add NIC-specific options ?
I have added one line to e1000_properties, as below
static Property e1000_properties[] = {
DEFINE_NIC_PROPERTIES(E1000State, conf),
+ DEFINE_PROP_UINT32("mit_on, E1000State, mit_on, 0),
DEFINE_PROP_END_OF_LIST(),
};
and this way i can do recognise this on the command line
qemu ... -device e1000,mit_on=1 ...
but i do not know how to set the property for the NIC i am using.
Specifically, i normally run qemu with "-net nic,model=1000"
(leaving the nic unconnected to the host network, so i can
test the tx path without being constrained by the backend's speed)
Any suggestion ?
thanks
luigi
