I'm afraid I might need more handholding here. What command output would you
like to see when you asked "How is it set up"? I have this:

root@testvm:~# ls -lha /dev/eth0 /dev/eth0 /dev/netdde
crw-rw---- 1 root root 0, 0 Jun  9 09:36 /dev/eth0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 0, 0 Jun  9 09:36 /dev/eth0
-rw-rw---- 1 root root    0 Jun  9 09:36 /dev/netdde

These are the network-related options from the qemu call:

qemu-system-i386 \
   -netdev user,id=net0,domainname=lan,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:2222-:22
   -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0 

Does hurd need the emulation of a "real" network card and cannot work with
virtio-net-pci maybe?

Thanks!

cheers, josch
