The problem is that ping is a setuid binary, so qemu cant send a ping into the outside world as an ordinary user process. I think you may be able to ping between two emulated machine within qemu. Even if you can't it might be worth staying with qemu's networking, if pings aren't essential, as it sounds closer to what you need than networking via tap.
