Hi,
I guess all the problems with NIC driver and with keyboard auto-repeat are
(or might be) caused by a bit buggy Qemu internal timer. You can see it
the best at for example Solaris9 boot process, where boot manager
(Configuration Assistant) count 5 seconds to the boot, so 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,
boot -- sometimes this counting is done in less then 0.5 second (just
estimate) sometimes it's done in about 2-4 seconds, which is a lot better,
since then I have a good chance to have a bit slower keybord in
Solaris's xterm.... :-)
Does anybody here also do have similar problem with any other OS running
inside Qemu?
