Description of problem: qemu emulation of e1000 nic does not follow the specification Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qemu versions below 0.15.1 How reproducible: Start a virtual machine with some OS that has no virtio and does not work with the old e1000-emulator. At least all SunOS 5.10 or OpenSolaris and Illumos based systems like Solaris 10, Nexenta, SmartOS, Illumian, ... are affected. Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a virtual machine with e1000 NIC in a network with a DHCP-server 2. let it run the OpenIndiana live DVD http://dlc-int.openindiana.org/repos/ Latest ISO at this moment is oi_151a_prestable2_repo.tar.bz2 3. wait until the Gnome desktop is shown or use any other affected OS and try to use the network Actual results: See that when the Gnome desktop is shown the system does not get a DHCP lease, the Network Manager icon remains orange (sending out packets works, return packets are not received). (sudo) password when selecting the Network Manager is "openindiana" Expected results: The system will get a DHCP lease and the network is functional (i.e. in the Gnome desktop the network icon will turn green) Additional info: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/638955
Correction: The OpenIndiana ISO's are in http://dlc.openindiana.org/isos/ latest is: oi-dev-151a3-live-x86.iso http://dlc.openindiana.org/isos/151a3/oi-dev-151a3-live-x86.iso Alternatives: other Illumos-based: http://ftp.illumian.org/illumian1.0.iso OpenSolaris-based: http://downloads.nexenta.com/cdn/NexentaStor-Enterprise-3.1.2.iso.zip or legacy-Solaris: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris10/overview/index.html
