[B2-devel] Basilisk II user mode network support

[Gwenole B. <gb....@fr...>]

Hi,

I have committed the slirp code from QEMU to CVS. This makes it=20
possible to have full user mode network emulation, i.e. no need for a=20
specific kernel module or messing with some configuration. Simply make=20=

sure you have "ether slirp" in your prefs items. It turns out to be the=20=

fastest network solution on my system, though it has some limitations.

Tested on: Linux (x86_64, x86, ppc), NetBSD (x86), FreeBSD (x86), MacOS=20=

X.

Note that on big endian systems, it seems Basilisk II can hang during=20
network transfers. I don't really know why. In Linux/ppc, I can notice=20=

"packet received, triggering Ethernet interrupt" without a matching=20
"EtherIRQ" call. Surprising.

Bye,
Gwenol=E9.=
