Hi,
I have a freedos virtual machine working under kvm, created with virt-manager. However, I can't get networking to work.
The freedos instructions point to using virtualbox and using the amdpcnet network driver, but I'm just using libvirt/virt-manager. Is there a network driver in freedos that I can use with virt-manager?
Turns out I just converted the image to virtualbox format and used that.

Thanks, Alex
I've got FreeDOS working under qemu-kvm directly (w/o VirtManager) with working TCP/IP using the rtl8139 network chipset. I can post the qemu-kvm command line if it helps.
Yes, I think that would be very helpful and would appreciate it if you would send that along.
Thanks, Alex
qemu-kvm -cdrom /dev/sr0 -soundhw sb16 -net nic,vlan=1,macaddr=00:1F:1F:77:40:0f,model=rtl8139 -net tap,vlan=1,ifname=tap1500 -m 16 -name freedos-vm -drive file=/usr/drives/kvm/fdos/fdos.img,cache=none -smp 1 -usb -usbdevice tablet -vga cirrus -vnc :20 -boot c I've yet to test it fully, but network is working well enough to pass files using freedos' FTP server.
