It does look like that is the case to me too.

There's a lot of different ways to configure networking, which is what
makes it so confusing.  I can tell you how I'm doing it in the containers
if that helps.  Are you trying to set up networking on your rPi3 or OSX?  I
do have access to OSX, so I can try things out there in the next couple of
days, but I'm not as familiar with the OSX networking vs. Linux.

The Solo5/Mirage unikernel's network stack is configured to either use DHCP
or a static IP address.  The example is using the default MirageOS static
IP address, which is hardcoded somewhere to 10.0.0.2.  So that's the
address that the unikernel will think it is.

I normally set up a local bridge (virbr0) where I tell QEMU to put the tap
device and I also add a virtual NIC pair with 10.0.0.1, so that I can
access the unikernel from the host directly (e.g., ping 10.0.0.2, wget
10.0.0.2, etc.)

The script that QEMU uses to know that it should add to virbr0 is here:

https://github.com/djwillia/solo5/blob/mirage/kvm-br.bash

The script that I use to configure the host to have its virtual NIC pair is
here:

https://github.com/djwillia/solo5/blob/mirage/config_net.bash

The `iptables` commands at the bottom of that script are how I normally
expose a port to the outside world (e.g., port 80). After that, I can
access the web server on the host's IP address.
