proposed wiki page for qemu+qemu networking with vde

[Andreas Wagner <andreasbwagner@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I propose a new wiki page with the following content. It includes
networking with VDE, something I didn't see mention of anywhere in
relation to plan9.


Networking (Linux host)
=======

# get vde2 with your package manager...


# set up a tap interface
sudo tunctl -u <username> -t tap0


# start a virtual switch connected to the tap interface
vde_switch --tap tap0 -daemon


# connect the switch to the network of the host. Use dhcp.
slirpvde --dhcp --daemon


Installation
=======

Create a disk image.

    qemu-img create -f qcow2 9front.qcow2.img 10G


Boot from the iso ( http://code.google.com/p/plan9front/wiki/mirrors )

    qemu -hda 9front.qcow2.img -cdrom 9front.iso -boot d -vga std -m
768 -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:00:EE:03 -net vde #Consider using kvm if
your cpu supports it.


Install. ( http://code.google.com/p/plan9front/wiki/install )



Usage
====

Booting into your 9front install.
    qemu -hda 9front.qcow2.img -cdrom 9front.iso -boot c -vga std -m
768 -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:00:EE:03 -net vde


In 9front.

ip/ipconfig
ndb/dns -r
