[Qemu-devel] ne2000 emulation causes kernel warning/stack-dump in virtual Linux host

[Rolf Fokkens]

On both qemu (no-kqemu) and qemu-kvm (no-kvm or with kvm) release 0.9.0 
the following happens when using ne2000 (default) emulation:

UG: waring at kernel/softirq.c:138/local_bh_enable() (Not tainted)

The virtual host runs fedora 7, kernel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7. When using 
windows-XP as a virtual host a network hang also occurs, but I have no 
details about it.

The mentioned problems (for both Linux and Windows XP) do not occur when 
using rtl8139 emulation.
