I disabled vfio_probe_rtl8168_bar2_window_quirk() as you suggested and indeed, the problem is gone now using QEMU 2.1.2. RTL really isn't the best choice, I guess. Thanks for your quick reply!

The NICs do not respond to any command and even the LEDs on the network connection turn off, a few seconds after the VM started. To get them back running I had to downgrade to 2.0 and restart the system. Unfortunately, I have no clue what to do or how to debug this problem since there are no specific errors logged. I tried two different VMs: Debian Wheezy and IPFire (see attachment for further details). The QEMU 2.1 changelog states "Support for RTL8168 NICs." so there were some major changes done, I guess. On the IPFire guest the kernel log shows many of these lines: r8169 0000:00:07.0 green1: rtl_eriar_cond == 1 (loop: 100, delay: 100) r8169 0000:00:07.0 green1: rtl_phy_reset_cond == 1 (loop: 100, delay: 1) On the Debian guest there is only: r8169 0000:00:07.0: firmware: agent loaded rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw into memory r8169 0000:00:07.0: lan0: link down ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): lan0: link is not ready The commandline for IPFire can be seen in the attachment. It is the same for Debian. There are also the complete kernel logs for the working (2.0) and non-working (2.1) cases.
