Hi,
I've been using ne2k with BSD/Linux/WindowsXP just fine with
KVM-35/2.6.23-rc2, but when I try to run Vista, which doesn't support the
ne2k any more, I tried switching to the rtl8139 emulation.
I observed that the rtl8139 emulation works fine in WindowsXP, so it's not
broken. But it does not seem to work in Vista (x86). The host is AMD64/SVM.
The way that it doesn't work is that no packets are sent/received over the
interface, so the device does not route.
The only difference between XP and Vista's KVM startup is that for Vista I
enable ACPI (necessary to install).
WindowsXP -->
kvm -no-reboot -localtime -no-acpi -m 256 -hda $IMAGE \
-net nic,model=rtl8139 -net tap,script=/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup $*
Vista -->
kvm -no-reboot -localtime -m 512 -hda $IMAGE \
-net nic,model=rtl8139 -net tap,script=/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup $*
The problem seems to be similar to a QEMU endian bug from some time ago, but I
don't think that's the problem here. It looks like it's some sort of
incompatibility between Vista and the rtl8139 emulation.
Any ideas? Does ACPI have anything to do with it?
