AFAIK, only one mac address is allowed with wifi (unlike ethernet). Have you tried using NAT on the host? When I used to run qemu on a FreeBSD laptop with only a wifi link, this is what worked best. I used something like this: qemu -vnc :<n> -net tap -net nic,macaddr=<a>,model=<m> -monitor stdio img On the host I bridged all tap devices so that all the VMs can talk to each other. If you want any plan9 services accessible from outside the qemu host, you will have to redirect any ports of interest. [Note: FreeBSD runs on Acer Aspire One]
