[OpenIndiana-discuss] Fixing DHCP networking

[Till Wegmüller]

In my attempts in QEMU/KVM it turned out to be the NAT interface of libvirt 
was the problem. I tried with fixed address and DHCP but it just would not 
work.

The only way I was able to run OI with KVM/libvirt was with a bridged 
interface.

There was also a report a while back that VMware ESX had problems with OI not 
wanting to see the network when coupled to a vswitch.

My guess is that OI doesn't like the iptables NAT network hybrid thingies that 
libvirt uses per default.
