Some people have repeatedly asked me to merge new network stack with trunk. I think it's too soon, but it may speed up development.

Here are some of the pro's and cons:

con:
- Some drivers, such as forcedeth do not work yet. (RTL8139 doesnt work in QEMU yet either)
- Inevitably, there are bugs.
- Current network applications will not work, unless some of the code is rewritten (not so hard to do).
- ...

pro:
- New drivers such as dec21x4x for virtualPC, VIA rhine, mtd803 and intel i8254x are present.
- The use of multiple network cards is possible (although not finished).
- If you want to use only one card, you may select which one to use.
- There are some new applications.
- There is a new, better API.
- Currently developed network applications (browser etc) dont have to choose between new or legacy API.
- Newer stack should be faster.
- ...

I voted YES as I am unable to find the "cons". The only real con is lack of forthedeth driver. All other cons are not cons:
1) There are bugs in trunk as well.
2) Trunk network applications are useless without normal network support.

1. Qemu it is necessary - other emulators currently time are not suitable for development.
2. Not fatal.
3. The primary goal Downloader, which is used to HTMLv.
I chose option 2 in the voting.

QEMU supports wide range of ethernet cards.

RTL8139 is a very popular driver as I know. I use it too in QEMU.
I support this idea, but ask you to add RTL8139 support as fast as you can. Thanks.

RTL8139 works, but not in qemu.

Hmm... It's a QEMU bug? Can you solve it?

I will try to

hidnplayr This RTL8139 or other card in Qemu?

It would be great. Thanks.

Detected card: 802910EC

This RTL8139 or other card in Qemu?

This is called ne2000 PCI in qemu, it works with rtl8029 driver. (8029 = device, type, 10ec means realtek )

Qemu 0.12.2 and SVN r. 3552 - PING is not working.

It's a shortcoming of QEMU i'm afraid, on real machines, and some other emulators, it works fine.

Hi
Description of the stack will be??
