Summary: rtl8139 (and others) emulation not working in OsX86
Initial Comment:
OsX86 ("hackint0sh") works quite well using kvm (0.88), speed and everything is
decent. There are drivers available for either the e1000 or rtl8139 emulated
network interfaces. The problem for rtl8139 is: the card is recognized and
brought up nicely, just no packets are sent (guest side: packet counter
increases, host side: no packets on tap0 (via tcpdump or ifconfig packet
count)). The e1000 is recognized but cannot be brought up ("no cable connected).

Message:
This is from an IRC conversation I had.
14:11 < agraf___> iggy: the rtl8139 timer doesn't work properly
14:11 < agraf___> iggy: and when osx detects a 100mbit/s link, it disables
rx/tx interrupts and uses the timer instead
14:12 < agraf___> iggy: so the only way to get it working properly was to
fake osx into thinking we have a 10mbit/s link
14:12 < agraf___> iggy: i haven't really tracked any other nic - no idea
why the e100 didn't work
I think this is going to be a back burner thing for a while. You can try
some of the other NIC emulations. Run the following to see your options:
kvm -net nic,model=?
Until someone can get around to this, I'm going to close it with a
resolution of later so the devs can remember to get back to it when there
is more time available.
