qemustart is a handy script to quickly test OpenWrt firmware using
qemu. Bringing up networking currently requires a bridge-helper
setup with privileged IP and bridge assignment. To simplify
testing scenarios like the package manager, which need both shell
access and outbound internet, add a user-mode networking option
backed by SLIRP that requires no privileges.
To stay backward compatible, the defaults don't change. The new
flag --user-network attaches two NICs (LAN + WAN) and forwards
three host ports to the guest LAN interface (192.168.1.1):
2222 -> 22 (ssh), 8080 -> 80 (http) and 8443 -> 443 (https). The
host-side ports can be overridden with --ssh-port, --http-port
and --https-port.
