Hi all,
As part of my work on QEMU I regularly test various PPC images, and I've
discovered that the latest debian ports powerpc image from
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/9.0/powerpc/iso-cd/ doesn't
appear to work under QEMU:
$ ./qemu-system-ppc -cdrom
will have to kill -9 the bind process and restart it in
order to facilitate wireless access until it happens once again.
Many thanks,
Mark.
