The qemu-Alt-F.sh script simulates a D-Link box on you computer using 'qemu',
which by itself emulates a board with a Versatile PB arm CPU.
You can then test most Alt-FwebUI features as if it were running on a real box.

You have to install qemu-system-arm on your computer. It works for me
on a linux machine, and it might as well work under MS-Windows.
You only have to download 'qemu-Alt-F.sh' and execute it.

A folder named ~/qemu-Alt-F will be created for you and this script
makes all needed downloads and starts the qemu emulation.

Three 10/10/5GB virtual disks are created and you can use them as
normal disks, with its contents being persistent across reboots.
Flash memory is also emulated and "settings" can be saved and are also
persistent across reboots.

All networking is firewalled except for ports 80 and 22,
which are forwarded to your computer's 5555 and 5556 ports,

So you can type http://localhost:5555 on your computer browser to have
acess to the Alt-F webUI, or use 'ssh -p 5556 root@localhost' (after
setting the root password using the webUI)

Serial console is enabled on the command line for root, no password needed, and 
you can use 'CTRL+a c' to switch between the qemu monitor (use 'quit' to exit qemu) and the
Alt-F console and vice-versa, see http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-doc.html#Keys

The following error is expected and is harmless, as there is no
simulation for fan/temperature/buttons/etc:
 sysctrl: Hardware board qemu not supported, exiting
