Package: qemu-system-ppc

Severity: serious
Dear Maintainer,
My working configuration with 1:8.2.5+ds-2 was:
,----
| -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:67,model=virtio -net tap
`----
Now with 1:9.0.1+ds-1 qemu-system-ppc64 doesn't start.
Apparently NIC support is missing:
I don't know what "NIC support is missing" means. Qemu can't be built
without support for networking. The -nic option is obsolete for a long
time, that's true, but it works still.
Missing network card support.
You gave no additional information here. I already read the same in your
first email, and I can't understand it. I also wrote back that the above
command parameters works just fine on my system with qemu 9.0.0+ds-1.
There's no need for this ping-pong, - if you want the issue to be fixed,
you have to provide the information requested, instead of repeating the
same information as before.
If the -nic option (and -net option) are obsolete why these options are
still documented in the manpage ?
Because -net is still supported. This is unrelated to your original problem,
isn't it?
..
What do you expect here? Is the problem you're reporting boils
down to missing support for -net nic,model=help (for obsolete
option -nic)? If yes, perhaps the bug title is wrong?
-net nic,model=help should display a list of available network devices.
If you want this to happen, I suggest you to open bug report in the
upstream qemu issue tracker. I definitely wont add debian-specific
code to display help for an obsolete option in qemu.
All these command line options come from the manpage.
No, you're wrong: -net nic,model=help is not documented in the manpage.
