[Qemu-devel] NE2000 vs Realtek-8029 on WfW 3.11 and NT4

[Friedemann Baitinger]

I was trying to get some "vintage" OSes running on qemu-0.6.1. Here are 
some findings which might be interesting either for the 
documentation/FAQ or for further development:

Neither on WfW3.11 nor on Windows NT4 I was able to get networking going 
with the NE2000 drivers that are part of those OSes. By reading the qemu 
sources I found out that "Realtek 8029" was mentioned there so I 
"googled" for those drivers and found some for WfW 3.11 as well as NT4 
(actually NT4 has them on the distro).

Using these drivers worked on boths OSes.

I also have an OS/2 Warp 4 installed. Networking didn't work with NE2000 
either. I have _not_ yet tried the realtek there, not even sure wheter a 
realtek driver exists for OS/2 but in case somebody is really 
struggling, you might give it a try. If I find the time to test it I'll 
certainly report the results here.
