How do you have your > tap device configured? > > - Michele > Hi, This is from our guide to qemu-system-ppc with tap networking: Install an OpenVPN tap device and bridge it with your normal ethernet connection. Then use the following on the Qemu-system-ppc command line: -device sungem,netdev=network01 -netdev tap,ifname=TapEthernet1,id=network01 (replace “TapEthernet1” with the name of the tap device as shown in the Windows network connections) Which works just fine for qemu-system-ppc guests without configuring anything else on the tap device. You need both these lines, otherwise the lance network device indeed has no peer: -device lance,netdev=mynet0 -netdev tap,ifname=TAP_Ethernet,id=mynet0 and then configure the network in the solaris guest....
