Hi Bjoern,
is this still present or were you able to fix/workaround this?
Haven't tried to investigate the issue yet. Hardly have any free time. I only tried two different models of e1000 cards on two different motherboards. Results were the same: arping works fine, ORe+Linux hangs up after message:
eth0: interface up.
My QEMU 0.9.1 doesn't support e1000 NIC. Looks like e1000 is supported only by some unofficial QEMU patch. So I didnt' try to reproduce it under QEMU. I started to use BroadCom hardware. That's my workaround :).
