By default during the boot process, FDAUTO runs "FDNET.BAT start” 

The “start” option tells FDNET to only run on known compatible virtual machines 
(ie. VirtualBox and VMware).

You will need to configure QEMU with an appropriate network card. I don’t use 
QEMU much to run DOS. Can’t help you there.

Then if it is one of the Network cards supported by FDNET, you can just remove 
the “start” option.

Otherwise, you could create a custom batch called FDNETPD.BAT that knows how to 
configure your packet driver. You would then place both your custom FDNETPD.BAT 
and Packet Driver in the FDNET directory. Then running FDNET should bring up 
your networking. This prevents the need for customizing the FDCONFIG and/or 
FDAUTO every time you reinstall, upgrade the OS or update packages. 

Hope that helps at least a little.
