slirp: Add out-of-band ethernet address If a network card supports NC-SI, then it redirects all traffic with the out-of-band (OOB) management controller's (MC) ethernet address to the out-of-band management controller, usually over some sideband RMII interface, not like the PCIe connection to the main host. It's also pretty common for the network card to provision the out-of-band management controller's ethernet address. At startup, the OOB MC asks the network card what its MAC address is through OEM NC-SI commands. This protocol is so common that it's going to be standardized soon in NC-SI 1.2.0 [1] as "Get MC MAC Address". Note: At some point, the network card may provision *multiple* OOB ethernet addresses, but right now everything just uses one.

libslirp is a user-mode networking library used by virtual machines, containers or various tools.
A C compiler, meson and glib2 development libraries.
(see also .gitlab-ci.yml DEPS variable for the list of dependencies on Fedora)
You may build and install the shared library with meson:
meson build ninja -C build install
And configure QEMU with --enable-slirp=system to link against it.
(QEMU may build with the submodule static library using --enable-slirp=git)
Unfortunately, there are no automated tests available.
You may run QEMU -net user linked with your development version.
Feel free to open issues on the project issues page.
You may clone the gitlab project and create a merge request.
Contributing with gitlab allows gitlab workflow, tracking issues, running CI etc.
Alternatively, you may send patches to slirp@lists.freedesktop.org mailing list.
We intend to use libtool's versioning for the shared libraries and use SemVer for project versions.
For the versions available, see the tags on this repository.
