[Bug 1917161] Re: Parameter 'type' expects a netdev backend type

[John Arbuckle]

I did try './configure --target-list=i386-softmmu --enable-slirp' but it
failed with this error message:

Run-time dependency slirp found: NO (tried pkgconfig)

../meson.build:1498:4: ERROR: Dependency "slirp" not found, tried
pkgconfig

I thought slirp came with QEMU. I do see a slirp folder packaged with
QEMU.

Title:
  Parameter 'type' expects a netdev backend type

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When using QEMU on an M1 Mac with Mac OS 11.1, I see this error
  message when trying to enable networking for a guest:

  Parameter 'type' expects a netdev backend type

  Example command:
  qemu-system-i386 -m 700 -hda <Windows XP HD file> -netdev user,id=n0 -device 
rtl8139,netdev=n0

  What should happen is networking should work when issuing the above
  command. What actually happens is QEMU exits immediately.
