There you go then.
Are you running a kernel + modules built by your Linux distributor or one you built yourself? In order to do networking things you _have_ to have networking enabled in the kernel, You need to either load the networking modules or compile them in. However if the only 'networking' you are trying to do is between the qemu environment and the Linux host machine fairly obviously you will not need to build any drivers for Network Interface Cards. -- CS
