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

Slightly OT, but why You not run Freedos under Linux and DOSEMU emulator? This give support for networking (IP packet driver and IPX), is possible run Linux programs from Freedos, use files from Linux filesystem in DOS programs and vice versa, printing to Linux supported printers... "dosemu" package (which include Freedos) is in Fedora rpmfusion repository.

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.
