Package: qemu Version: 0.9.1-1 When trying to run several qemu machines in a local mcast based network, the hosts are not able to reliably talk to each other, because all of them have the same MAC address. I know I can hardcode MAC addresses for each client, but it would be more convenient if this wasn't required, as I could use the same network setting for all hosts on the same network. The script I use to test with qemu is available as qemu-test-network from <URL: http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/debian-edu/trunk/src/debian-edu-config/share/debian-edu-config/tools/ >.
Please make qemu pick a MAC address at random, or using some algorithm that will increase the chances of each host getting an unique one. Perhaps some algorithm based on PID and time of day could be used? Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
