   Is anyone having trouble passing through a network device through QEMU into a FreeBSD (14) VM (guest)?

   I'm not exactly sure what to do, since QEMU officially has docs that are quite outdated for BSD, but for whatever reason, after upgrading to FreeBSD 14 (from 13), I can't connect to the network anymore.

   Here's the argument: -device e1000,netdev=net0 -netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:22

   Also tried bridge, but that also doesn't work.

     @cuddle I suspect you want -net nic,model=virtio instead of e1000.

     @cuddle I have a shell script I use to run freebsd from qemu easily in serial console mode with ssh access and user mode networking. And I had tried the FreeBSD 14 rc candidate with it. But it was on an arch system, so its also was using a recent kernel and qemu, too.

     @gnutelephony I tried with virtio too, but no luck...

     @cuddle
     This is what my qemu config roughly looks like for freebsd...

     disk="${HOME}/nfs/qemu/$lock.qcow2"
     net="-net nic,model=virtio -net user,hostfwd=tcp::${port}-:22"
     drive="-drive if=virtio,media=disk,index=0,file=${disk}"
     serial="-nographic -serial mon:stdio"
     console="-display curses"
     qemu="qemu-system-x86_64 -accel kvm"
     $qemu $name $mem $nic $net $drive $serial

     @gnutelephony I'm on Debian 12 (QEMU 7.2.5). I'm not quite sure what's wrong going on, recently with FreeBSD 13, I encountered an error where the boot process gets stuck after the installation. On FreeBSD 14, I'm not seeing this issue anymore. I've tried with VirtualBox and it worked just fine there, so maybe as a last resort, I'll try (network issue) inside VirtualBox later this evening...
