Hi,
$ sudo qemu -m 64 /home/qemu/debian-31r1a-i386.img -net tap -net nic warning: could not open v ,^@ : no virtual network emulation Could not initialize device 'tap'
This problem is fixed in -current ports (qemu 0.8.0p4). For 3.9 you can try the patch at:

But this still doesn't work correctly, because the guest OS gets the IP 172.20.0.2 and can't reach any other hosts on the LAN (including the obsd box that's running qemu).
When using tun with the default qemu-ifup, the qemu host is bridged directly onto your network: what IP it gets and how it gets it is completely up to you. You can assign one manually or have it talk to a dhcp server.
