[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] networking using libpcap

[Ulrich Hecht]

Hi!

I just discovered this patch

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2007-February/003107.html

that implements network access using libpcap. Works perfect for me and 
allows access to the local Ethernet right out of the box, very much 
unlike tap and bridging. The attached version applies to trunk.
