[Bug 1879590] Re: Using qemu-system-sparc64 no network interface seems to exist

[address@hidden]

Unfortunately it's been a while and no one has added the proper support to qemu 
yet, see comments at:
http://tyom.blogspot.com/2016/10/qemu-sun4vniagara-target-went-public.html
Apparently the niagara PCI adapter has to be implemented and the firmware 
recompiled to enable it.

Title:
  Using qemu-system-sparc64 no network interface seems to exist

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Using boot command:

  qemu-system-sparc64 -M niagara -L /home/chrisp/sparc/S10image/
  -nographic -m 256 -drive
  if=pflash,readonly=on,file=/home/chrisp/sparc/S10image/disk.s10hw2

  After I log into solaris system I see no network devices other than the 
loopback device.
  All the docs I can see suggest it should come up with a default network 
device that allows communication via the hosts network. Host is ubuntu 64bit.
