Running an x86/64 image with tools/qemu_dev_start returns "eth0 doesn't exists!"

[a-gave]

It's probably not widely used, but it was working until recently
And it is not working properly with current last HEAD: ca63283

 ./qemu_dev_start --node-id 1 --enable-wan wlo1 rootfs.tar.gz kernel.bin

These are the logs encountered just after the boot:

Cannot acquire lock on /var/run/lime-config.pid
This may be caused by lime-config already running or unexpectedly crashed.
If it is the latter case (check carefully!) try by deleting the lock file with:
# rm -rf /var/run/lime-config.pid
Before running lime-config again
root@OpenWrt:/# rm -rf /var/run/lime-config.pid
root@OpenWrt:/# lime-config

Instead the ext4-combined-efi image setup correctly all interfaces, tested running:

gunzip libremesh-master-ow23.05.5-ca63283-20250203-default-x86-64-generic-ext4-combined-efi.img.gz
mv libremesh-master-ow23.05.5-ca63283-20250203-default-x86-64-generic-ext4-combined-efi.img combined-efi.img
