I only played a little with a version on Win2K, I didn't do
any timing tests. Qemu gives a widely varying CPU clock speed
on boot, everything from 100MHz to over 2GHz. The NIC works
(as far as I could test it by pinging the gateway returned
by DHCP and the host IP address) but it needs the nodummyrr
option. This is what I had in plan9.ini:

	ether0=type=ne2000 port=0xC100 mem=0x04000 size=0x4000 nodummyrr

(port, mem and size are only needed for 9load, the kernel driver
detects the NIC automatically).
