Network device emulation not working (including uaenet.device)

[giantclambake]

See #1475 for reference.

Using the Roadshow TCP stack, none of the provided drivers match emulated network cards ;

It does however identify the uaenet.device correctly, and provide the applicable driver file to which you can attach the tcp stack, but it doesn't work (see discussion above) as no packets flow.

AFAICT, the emulated ethernet device is not being built ; slirp is providing mac_addr, but all other network device functionality is missing, and thus Roadshow cannot find a qualifying device.

TIA

Only uaenet.device will be injected by Amiberry during runtime, for the other emulated hardware boards, you'll need the proper .device file from Roadshow or similar software.
However, the implementation probably needs more - pcap might be required to make use of uaenet.device, or other cards.

Of course, bsdsocket.library should work without any further requirements.

Yeah, if you enable A2065 in Amix, bootup stalls completely twiddling it's thumbs over net_if init.... unfortunately, the bsdsocket.library doesn't work in Amix ....but ofc Amix with A2065 enabled in WinUAE works ;)

Just to add I updated to 7, imported over my working WinUAE Amix setup and whilst it boots, I couldn't get the network to do anything. I suspect a lot of uaenet.device is not exactly 'platform independent'

[giantclambake]

Yeah, this is still currently broken ~ midwan's spun off a separate branch to work on the issues here =)

[midwan]

Yeah, this one requires a pcap implementation like the one on WinUAE, but for Linux/macOS.
That is some work that I haven't had time to look into yet, so I left this issue open for a future attempt at fixing it.
