Thanks for your help with the network drivers.
I've downloaded the e1000 drivers and have been able to build and run OVMF
with networking enabled. Getting them from a self-extracting .exe file was
odd. I will follow Laszlo's lead and store them in a private tree.
I can now see a MAC address, configure a static IP address with ifconfig,
and see it with "ifconfig -l" in OVMF. After doing that, I tried a ping
test in OVMF. Unfortunately, the UEFI shell's ping seems to be failing and
then lying to me about the failure. Ping reports the same odd messages
(quickly claiming timeouts for 10 ping attempts, then declaring 10 packets
were received with 0% packet loss) whether I'm pinging actual hosts or
non-existent ones. I can't ping OVMF from the host or another system,
either.
I'm currently adding "-net nic,model=e1000" to the QEMU command line as
described in the OvmfPkg/README. I've already figured out to I don't want
to restrict packet forwarding so don't add "-net user,restrict=yes" and
don't think I need "-net user,dhcpstart=X.X.X.X" since I can do static IP
address configuration.
Are there any QEMU command line options you'd recommend to
enable networking when running OVMF+QEMU? I'll also keep reading the links
you sent me to see if there's more configuration info I can find.
Sincerely,
James Deutch
