[yocto] network drivers are not installed when MACHINE qemux86-64

[Nathan Sowatskey]

As a follow up, I have just done this:

bitbake core-image-kernel-dev

And now I get the eth0 interface configured and active when I start the Yocto image. 

I do not have to configure and start it manually.

Regards

Nathan
