Re: lkvm issue: --network mode=user,trans=mmio doesn't work

Thank you for helping me figure out what's wrong.

Most probably I'm using trans=mmio incorrectly, but unfortunately I
don't know how to use it properly.

I don't think I have defined anything in the guest. All I've changed
is adding ,trans=mmio to the lkvm command line, and it ceased working
because of that. What should I define and where? Is this documented
somewhere? Could you please send me the shortest example (lkvm command
line and possibly guest commands) which works for you?
