No thanks. Not necessary anymore. I found Genymotion, which is a far better alternative than the inbuilt emulator and allows bridge configuration by default.
@DKrepsky Thanks for the nice info. On a Windows machine with Android Studio, where / how should we type in these commands? Sorry, am a newbie to Android world...
Dear @spurgeonbj, these commands are intended for Linux only. I really don't know how to create a network bridge in Windows.
I've seen here how to create a bridge in Windows for qemu -> https://wonghoi.humgar.com/blog/2021/05/03/qemu-for-windows-host-quirks/
I've tried to follow that tutorial and then running my emulator with the following:
.\emulator -avd Nexus_6P_API_24 -qemu -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,mac=52:55:00:d1:55:51 -netdev tap,id=hn0,ifname=TAP,script=no,downscript=no
It runs, and I've a new device under eth1 in which I can use dhcptool to obtain IP..
generic_x86_64:/ # dhcptool eth1
generic_x86_64:/ # ifconfig
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:55:00:d1:55:51
inet addr:192.168.0.34 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::5055:ff:fed1:5551/64 Scope: Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

And it works!
Crappy format, isn't it?
