I'm marking this bugreport as "wontfix", because we now have better opportunity for this: management tools like libvirt. These performs network configuration for lots of basic cases. If you don't want to use libvirt or similar, you're free to configure your system networking manually, and qemu-kvm package should not stay on the way. It provides just a hint of how network setup script may look like. Thanks, /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
