Hi Daniel, I just tried a newer version of the indiana iso image (http://dlc-origin.openindiana.org/isos/148/oi-dev-148-x86.iso) with latest qemu (not qemu-kvm) on a debian amd64 linux host, and I had no problems with networking (ssh from qemu's emulated indiana host to physical linux host).
Tested with e1000 and i82559c, both work. Does the error only occur with the older iso image? Or is it caused by qemu-kvm?
