<p>Jetole: </p> <hr /> <div>This issue is now resolved and Vista works with the rtl8139 driver since CVS February and newer.</div>

<p>Jetole: </p> <hr /> <div>Vista has no ne2000 driver, and the rtl8139 driver does not work with the qemu emulated device.<br /> <br /> To get Vista to network correctly, specify the ne2k_pci device on the qemu command line:<br /> qemu -net nic,model=ne2k_pci<br /> <br /> and use the Windows 2000 driver disk, available [http://phaq.phunsites.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/drivercd.iso here].<br /> <br /> Note: I found that the rtl8139 driver worked with kvm and Vista just fine. I also found the download link above to be broken. So you might also try:<br /> qemu -net nic,model=rtl8139<br /> <br /> Note: that's because the emulated rtl8139 was fixed with the last QEMU CVS merge. Vista guests '''should''' use rtl8139, as Vista's rtl8139 driver now works.<br /> <br /> Note: We don't need to keep adding notes like a change-log to constantly update from the previous users comments.
