Update: If Android x86 does not work well for you, you might want to look at AndroVM. I run it in VirtualBox and have had no hardware related issues.

Real Answer:

Somewhat of a follow-up answer since I can't add comments yet. I think getting this setup is highly dependent on your host hardware. I am not using hardware that perfectly fits any of the current ISOs. So I tested all of them with all Ethernet settings to see what would work.

On a Dell Latitude D820 here is what I got:

• eeepc - Bridged Adapter with PCnet-PCI II
• tegav2 - NAT adapter with PCnet-PCI III
• amd_brazos - No CPU support
• asus_laptop - No eth0 option for any Ethernet adapter setting
• s104t - Would not boot

For the two ISOs that would work for me (eeepc and tegav2), I added the following two lines to /etc/init.sh (as per the other answer)

netcfg eth0 dhcp
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
