 I can't use network in OpenBSD with any driver which is provided. All

qemu's re(4) emulation doesn't (by default) include the onboard timer.
You should be able to define RTL8139_ONBOARD_TIMER (e.g. in rtl8139.c)
and rebuild.

Also see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/63139

 With fxp there was even core dump and Qemu crashed. Looks
 like problem is with their management of memory which they improved
 for KVM :

This looks simply like missing pieces in qemu's emulation, but they
choose to trigger an assertion (i.e. crash) rather than failing more
gracefully.

 $1 = 0xa1b49d8 qemu:
 /builddir/build/BUILD/qemu-kvm-0.11.0/hw/eepro100.c:1176:
 eepro100_read2: Assertion `!\feature is missing in this emulation: \

Uhm, looks seriously off-topic on any mailinglist that ends in
@openbsd.org. I hope you reported this to Fedora.

Actually less to do with Fedora and more a query for the QEMU project
and you're processor manufacturer I think.

Seems to be an issue within KVM and and how its trying to use hardware
to emulate a machine.
A while back I ran OpenBSD without any issues under QEMU and
VirtualBox on various recent Linux distros.

Only thing is I had countless issues on Intel CPUs and none at all on
the AMD CPUs,... seems the Intel virtualization enhancements are a bit
behind.

Problem was of course reported immediately to Fedora. I know that it's
not very useful for @openbsd, but a lot of us use it on real machines
and under virtualization for testing/playing/whatelse. And Qemu was
best VM platform for all BSDs for a longer time. So just OT info to
pay attention.
