Thanks a lot. 

Please don't top post. Please always keep qemu-ppc CC'ed.

I am using the newest version of QEMU, which is QEMU 1.5.0. I want to test my network card driver for NE2000. But it seems like it doesn't support NE2000 when I add attribute -M ref405ep -cpu 401100c4 or -M taihu -cpu 401100c4. Because after running the virtual machine, there warning shows up:

Warning: hub port hub0port1 has no peer

Warning: vlan 0 with no nics

Warning: netdev hub0port1 has no peer

Warning: requested NIC (anonymous, model ne2k_pci) was not created (not supported by this machine?)

I read the QEMU Emulator User Documentation, it said the user can add attribute "-net nic, model=?" to get the list of available devices for the specific target.

But it doesn't work. 

So what can I do for creating a NIC in ref405ep or taihu platform? Or if both of  these platforms can't add NIC, what else platforms which runs with CPU powerpc 405 can add a NE2000 NIC or other network card?

It looks as if the 40x machine models don't spawn NICs according to the -net configuration then. As mentioned in my earlier email, they aren't actively developed anymore. Currently actively developed targets are: e500plat, mpc8544ds, bamboo, prep, g3beige, mac99, pseries.

You can try to spawn the ne2k device manually using -netdev and -device. If the PCI adapter on the respective SoCs has been qdev'ified, that should work despite the -net hickups.

Sorry for the top post. From now, I will reply email from the end of the mail.

I added attributes " -device ppc4xx-pcihost -device ne2k_pci -net tap".

Two problems happened:
1. After running the emulator, I use telnet to monitor the VM. When I input the command "info qtree", the result is as following.
QEMU 1.4.91 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) info qtree
bus: main-system-bus
  type System
  dev: ppc4xx-pcihost, id ""
    irq 4
    mmio ffffffffffffffff/0000000000800040
    bus: pci.0
      type PCI
      dev: ne2k_pci, id ""
        mac = 52:54:00:12:34:56
        vlan = <null>
        netdev = <null>
        bootindex = -1
        addr = 01.0
        romfile = "efi-ne2k_pci.rom"
        rombar = 1
        multifunction = off
        command_serr_enable = on
        class Ethernet controller, addr 00:01.0, pci id 10ec:8029 (sub 1af4:1100)

        addr = 00.0
        romfile = <null>
        rombar = 1

        command_serr_enable = on

    io_base = 0x0
    irq 1

And the result of "info mtree" is as following:

Could you help me to find the base address of my NIC "ne2k_pci"?


2.  Warning: vlan 0 with no nics
    Warning: nic ne2k_pci.0 has no peer
    Two warnings show when I ran the emulator.
How can I fix these two warning?
