Sure there is. You can use "-net user -net nic" and some "-redir
....." rules
or you can use the tun/tap stuff (be sure it''s the modified version
from
the japan site, not blastwave) and start qemu "-net tap -net nic".

how are you starting qemu? if you''re using tap, you need to start
qemu with "-net tap -net nic". What does your /etc/qemu-ifup script
look like?

very fast - I am using the kqemu module.
I tend to just use usernet and redir with ssh since that''s all I
usually
need to get into a guest. If you need more ports, then I guess it''s
a tossup between writing redir rules and tun/tap. >

zone and tap isn''t going to work. AFAIK, you can''t use a
loadable module
in a zone, so you may as well figure out how to do it with the user-net and
redir rules.

Never heard of it.
