Hi, At the moment I am able to configure an IP address on the network interface corresponding to the NE2000 NIC. When I ping to the host IP, the tcpdump catches both ARP Request (sent by the guest using the NE2000 card) and an ARP Reply sent by the host OS. So, there is implemented the transmission protocol. For reception, the packets are only read from the tap device when it is notified by the mevent mechanism. For mode details, see the commits. Thanks, Alex On Tue, Jun 2, 2015 at 7:45 PM, Alex Teaca <ionutalex.teaca@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I've started the implementation of the NE2000 module.
