No network in qemu

[mirabilos]

I tried both the ISO and the floppy image, and even added specific -net arguments, but…

$ qemu-system-i386 -fda netboot.xyz.dsk -m 1G -net nic -net user                         

All it shows me is “Network unreachable”. I dropped in a MirBSD ISO and had network. I also tried a Grml ISO (with qemu-system-x86_64) and also had network.

(I wanted to see whether MirBSD’s still in it, and what I had to do to re-enable it if it wasn’t, as the old diff, I’m not sure if it was ever merged?)
