Hi,

It would seem that FreeBSD[0] is unable to deal correctly with qemu's
networking when *more* than one e1000 interface is exported.
Interfaces are identified as:

# qemu -nographic -hda /vm/hdd-freebsd-i386 \
    -net nic -net tap,script=/vm/ifup \
    -net nic -net tap,script=/vm/ifup \
    -net nic -net tap,script=/vm/ifup \
    -net nic -net tap,script=/vm/ifup \
    -net nic -net tap,script=/vm/ifup \
    -net nic -net tap,script=/vm/ifup

TX works , but RX seems broken. re(4) in the exact same configuration
works fine.

any ideas ?

Thanks,

ps: latest qemu shows the same behavior.
