Qemu networking
I have been fretting over this issue for a while now. Have finally worked out how to give qemu a network connection that joins with a bridge and thereby a connection to the host.
Qemu can create a tap interface that does all this magic networky stuff. It does work... :)
Write 2 network scripts as below: ( don't forget the chmod +x on each file. )
Then to start the VM:
as root:
That should start you up with a connection to the default virbr that gets made by fedora at boot time.

[root@sitedesign ~]# cat /etc/qemu-ifdown
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/ifconfig virbr0 down
/sbin/ifconfig down $1
/sbin/ifup eth0
[root@sitedesign ~]# cat /etc/qemu-ifup
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 promisc up
/usr/sbin/brctl addif virbr0 $1
Then to start the VM:
as root:
#~> qemu-kvm -net nic,vlan=0 -net,tap,vlan=0 -hda winxp.img -hdb winxp_disk2.img -usb -usbdevice tablet -localtime -daemonize
That should start you up with a connection to the default virbr that gets made by fedora at boot time.
