I know some of you will laugh, but:
- QEMU malta emulation is not really complete, to put it mildly
- the QEMU target is available only for Linux 2.6
- despite popular opinion, 2.4 ain't dead yet, at least in the embedded
market
I have a port of the QEMU target for Linux 2.4.34.4 (latest 2.4 kernel
on linux-mips.org), with NE2000 card working (in both BE and LE modes).
Still rough at the edges, but it works on stock qemu-0.9.0 with -M mips.
If anyone is interested, I can send the patch by e-mail. I have no idea
if I can post attachments to the list(s), that's why it's not attached.
