[Qemu-discuss] "host_net_add user" not working as expected

[Peter Münster]

Hi,

I would like to start qemu without the "user" network, and later add it
when needed using the "host_net_add user" command. But it does not work:
"info network" shows the right thing:

hub 1
 \ user.0: index=0,type=user,net=10.0.2.0,restrict=off
 \ virtio-net-pci.1: 
index=0,type=nic,model=virtio-net-pci,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:01
hub 0
 \ tap.0: index=0,type=tap,ifname=tap0,script=,downscript=
 \ virtio-net-pci.0: 
index=0,type=nic,model=virtio-net-pci,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:00

but the guest cannot use the 10.0.2.0 network. (the hub 0 is for my host
connection).


But when starting qemu with "-net user,vlan=1" and just after the start
I remove it with "host_net_remove 1 user.0" then it works as expected.

Is this a bug or intention?  Or should this be done in another way?

TIA for any help!
