That is tough ... ! So my hardware is officially obsolete.

I had to get away with those other emulators provided by commercial
companies. VMWare said my hardware does not support virtualization
(much like qemu), but VirtualBox worked surprisingly well and uses the
CPU natively (no emulation, faster than my qemu without kvm).

It turns out I had to say:
           ifconfig eth1.0 up

Which might be obvious for the people here, but is not that much
obvious when you first hear about vlans ...

Thank you for your responses,
