The existing Ethernet connection implementation is PCAP-based. This allows bridging your virtual machine directly to the host's network, but requires elevated permissions on your OS and appropriate drivers which often aren't available on Wi-Fi cards. This commit adds a libslirp-based backend that provides just enough internal networking to handle TCP/IP out of the guest to host, LAN or Internet. As such things like ICMP, IPX and NetBIOS don't work properly. The use case for this connection is to give Internet access to the guest for things like IRC, HTTP and other connections to online services.
