Dear Joshua,

These are known problems. See the following bug reports:

Using CVS head, Darwin 7.01 guest stopped slightly after that:

user-net does not work under Debian guest (and many other GNU/Linux systems):

If you set up tun networking, it works like a charm.

I am not an expert, but you should be compiling Qemu from CVS head as it 
includes several fixes and evolves very quickly with a bunch of pending 
patches.
