Hello Adolf,
I am happy to bring back user-space networking for QEMU as long as it not been properly deprecated upstream.

Hi All,
In qemu 7.2 they removed the bundled slirp library. This is used for the net user backend and is used by default if nothing else is specified.
Hmm, it is not very common to use this kind of network access. I suppose most people use QEMU in connection with libvirt.
We can always discuss this in the next conf call on following Monday. I will submit the patch set anyway and we can decide what to do in the conf call.
Regards, Adolf.
The example in the wiki uses the net user.
Unfortunately it looks like nobody ran qemu in testing for CU179.
A user on the forum has run into this problem and it stops his qemu system from running.
I will do a new build of qemu/qemu-ga (updated to 8.1.1) which will include the libslirp package tomorrow (28th Sep).
Hopefully the patch submission that I make for this will be able to be merged into CU180 Testing.
No problem, we still have a few weeks before this gets released and we can add this as a quick fix. Best, -Michael
Regards,
Adolf.
