no networking in riscv-qemu... use pppd?

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl@lkcl.net>]

hi, sorry i'm not subscribed to the list so replying in-thread is a
leetle tricky (apologies!), but this is a new thread-topic anyway.  in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-riscv/2016/11/msg00005.html it's
mentioned the following:

if there exists at least support for serial devices (even if there is
only one - the console) - could that be used to set up a pppd link?  i
have frequently then set up dnsmasq and a local HTTP proxy or NAT from
there.

just a thought.
