This is really pathetic, but I'm afraid I have no clue how to do this: > Could you please resubmit it to qemu-devel using git-send-email and a full commit message with Signed-off-by?
I tried googling and reading manuals, but I couldn't connect the dots. Can you send me a sample command line? I'm sure it's dead easy, but my experience with git is basically just downloading sources--all the projects I work on regularly still use cvs or svn. To set this up on Mac OS X, you need to install the tun/tap drivers, because OSX doesn't come with any. These are available at tuntaposx.sourceforge.net. If you use Tunnelblick to run openvpn, it sets up tun/tap for you and then cleverly removes the kernel modules when you don't have a tunnel open, so that the drivers are there but not active. You will have to overcome this somehow; I have an older version of Tunnelblick that doesn't do this, so I don't know how to work around this problem. If you aren't using Tunnelblick, I think installing the tun/tap drivers will Just Work. Once you have them installed, you can just start up qemu normally. I use the following script: ../qemu/sparc-softmmu/qemu-system-sparc -M SS-5 -bios ./ss5.bin -nographic -hda SunOS4.1.4 -net tap,script=tap1,vlan=0 -net nic,vlan=0 The startup script (tap1) is this: #!/bin/sh ifconfig tap1 192.5.5.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 Because it's running ifconfig, the whole thing has to be started as root; I think it would be fine to drop privs after that, though. -- tap-bsd.c has no test for Mac OS X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/647793 You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. Status in QEMU: New Bug description: The Mac OS X tun/tap driver is equivalent to the FreeBSD driver, but bsd-tap.c uses the NetBSD/OpenBSD driver, which works differently. The fix is easy--just check for __APPLE__ in the same place where you check for FreeBSD in net/tap-bsd.c. This problem exists in the current git tree, at least as of yesterday afternoon.
