But we still have the problem that qemu_new_nic does not call net_init_nic. That means e.g. that NICs instantiated via -device don't participate in automatic MAC assignment. Maybe fixing that makes this series obsolete. Jan -- Siemens AG, Corporate Technology, CT T DE IT 1 Corporate Competence Center Embedded Linux
