Category: intel Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Later Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: NebuK (nebukadneza) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: rtl8139 (and others) emulation not working in OsX86 Initial Comment: OsX86 ("hackint0sh") works quite well using kvm (0.88), speed and everything is decent. There are drivers available for either the e1000 or rtl8139 emulated network interfaces. The problem for rtl8139 is: the card is recognized and brought up nicely, just no packets are sent (guest side: packet counter increases, host side: no packets on tap0 (via tcpdump or ifconfig packet count)). The e1000 is recognized but cannot be brought up ("no cable connected). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Brian Jackson (iggy_cav) Date: 2010-02-10 16:06 Message: This is from an IRC conversation I had. 14:11 < agraf___> iggy: the rtl8139 timer doesn't work properly 14:11 < agraf___> iggy: and when osx detects a 100mbit/s link, it disables rx/tx interrupts and uses the timer instead 14:12 < agraf___> iggy: so the only way to get it working properly was to fake osx into thinking we have a 10mbit/s link 14:12 < agraf___> iggy: i haven't really tracked any other nic - no idea why the e100 didn't work I think this is going to be a back burner thing for a while. You can try some of the other NIC emulations. Run the following to see your options: kvm -net nic,model=? Until someone can get around to this, I'm going to close it with a resolution of later so the devs can remember to get back to it when there is more time available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=2941537&group_id=180599 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
