I'm totally new to the concept of an embedded OS, and was wondering if it's possible to access a network/network card, or if Qemu can use the network interfaces active in windows...

Sorry if this is a silly question, it's because I would like to get my GF onto linux but she doesn't want to install anything permanant!

It uses the active Windows net connection.
The default is pretty much a sandbox with no real access to real hard drive, and other devices. You should easily be able to use the net browser, mail and DSL apps. The personal files are autobacked up to a 60MB virtual hard drive (hdb).

Many other users install Samba or use  advancaed Qemu configurations to extend outside the sandbox. It is possible.

Just trying it out it is fairly safe. Nothing to install inside Windows yet easy net access. You do need a fast machine as emulation is much slower than booting natively.

The guest OS is virtual computer, so you don't access hardware that belongs to the host machine.

A more authoritative answer can be found on the qemu forum or the qemu-devel mailing list.

You can activate networking in DSL-embedded like this:

Code Sample

sudo modprobe ne2k-pci
sudo pump
sudo ifconfig -a


Why this isn't a part of the default config is beyond me. Until it is, add it to bootlocal.sh and create a backup on your removable device.
