mandrake based host system here, after booting a 
default 2.6.10 kernel with:

qemu-0.6.1/i386/qemu-fast -nographic -L qemu-0.6.1/pc-bios      \
        -m 64 -snapshot -hda IMGs/TESTn_32M.img -kernel         \
        /src/linux-2.6.10-P1/arch/i386/boot/bzImage             \
        -append "rw root=/dev/hda1 devfs=mount init=/bin/bash"

(the following script is executed on the host:)

# cat /etc/qemu-ifup
---------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

IF="$1"
NR=`echo $IF | sed 's/^[a-z]*//'`
NX=$[NR+10]

IFX="10.0.$NR.1"
BCX="10.0.$NR.255"
RMX="10.0.$NR.2"

echo -e "\e[33m$IF configured for $IFX/$RMX\e[0m"

ifconfig $IF $IFX netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast $BCX
route add -net 192.168.$NR.0/24 gw $RMX
# route add -host 10.0.0.$NX dev $IF
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/$IF/proxy_arp

---------------------------------------------------------

(now on the guest)

[root@(none) /]$ ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
[root@(none) /]$ ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.2
[root@(none) /]$ ping -c 2 10.0.0.1
