Hi,

Yay!! 🎉

Should we build Mach without this driver, or otherwise make “noide” the
default?  (We can answer that later, no rush.)

> guix shell qemu -- qemu-system-i386                     \
> -m 4096                                                 \
> --enable-kvm                                            \
> --device rtl8139,netdev=net0                            \

Once we have netdde, we can probably drop that line and use the default
NIC (e1000, IIRC).

Is “-m 4096” still needed?  You mentioned this as a workaround
initially, IIRC?
