Hi,
Now the first non-RfC version of this series. Changes compared to
last RfC patch:
* Added some common helper code so we have less code duplication
and the actual driver changes are smaller.
* All network drivers are converted now.
* Some final cleanups which zap dead code.
With the patches applied network cards can now be created using ...
-device ne2k_isa,mac=00:11:22:33:44:55,vlan=1,irq=3,id=foo
'info qtree' shows ...
[ ... ]
bus: isa.0
type ISA
dev: ne2k_isa, id "foo"
dev-prop: iobase = 0x300
dev-prop: irq = 3
dev-prop: mac = 00:11:22:33:44:55
dev-prop: vlan = 1
dev-prop: netdev = <null>
[ ... ]
'info network' shows:
[ ... ]
VLAN 1 devices:
foo: model=ne2k_isa,macaddr=00:11:22:33:44:55
The nic initialization code calls qemu_new_vlan_client() with the
vlan/netdev specified using the properties. Likewise the device
cleanup code should call qemu_del_vlan_client (which only makes sense
for hot-pluggable devices).
struct NICInfo is only involved when creating nics using the legacy
path (via -net nic,...).
