Sadly, it did not. Confirmed at https://github.com/pvaibhav/qemu-ia64/issues/2#issuecomment-1065242871

Ski is back under development, however – https://github.com/trofi/ski

It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s getting there.

Thanks! I mentioned it in the article. I dont think this GSOC QEMU project went very far. We could try to contact the author and see.

Think that when installed drivers for the new NIC it detected the onboard one but never attached driver to it. You can see it in lsdev but I cannot configure the onboard NIC.

Also, didn’t QEMU supported IA64 emulation at some point? At least based on some googling there was a GSOC project 10 years ago or so:

This listing claims that the following part numbers are valid for that feature code: 21H5384, 23L4173, 23L4294, 91H0397, 94H0390, 94H0823 (note that IBM likes to have two different part numbers for the same part based on what channel it was distributed through, so those part numbers likely refer to three different revisions)

The other adapter is a Googlewhack that directs to this blog post, though, which makes me wonder if it’s actually for the on-board adapter and it’s just not working.
