linux-yocto/qemuppc: fix console and ethernet

Richard/Saul,

As was discussed on the mailing list ethernet wasn't working out of the box on the 3.0 kernel (but it was in 3.2, hence why my boots missed it). I bundled this together with a console fix.

The commit says it all:

[
Two issues are fixed with this commit, the ability to use the keyboard on a graphical qemu boot and enabling ethernet by default on a 3.0 kernel.

The keyboard is fixed via the same method as the other simulations with the addition of console=tty on the qemu command line.

Ethernet is fixed by adding a dependency of PCNET32 to the qemuppc configuration, which allows us to build ethernet directly into the image.
]

Cheers,

Bruce

Merged to master, thanks.

I can confirm qemuppc now has networking as well as graphics which is great progress :)

Cheers,

Richard

Indeed! It is nice to close out this longstanding issue.

Cheers,
