Re: [9front] QEMU and sysupdate

[Giacomo Tesio <giacomo@tesio.it>]

In case anybody hit this same issue, I managed to fix the networking
issue following the guide from plan9

http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Plan9_on_Qemu_on_Windows/index.html

In particular I had to
- install OpenVPN,
- rename the TAP-Windows Adapter to TAP_OpenVPN (in Control
Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections)
- create a bridged network (select the actual network interface,
interface AND the TAP_OpenVPN interface, right click, Bridge)
- start Qemu with " -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net tap,ifname=TAP_OpenVPN "
- on 9front terminal type "ip/ipconfig" and hit enter

Finally sysupdate worked as expected.
