Ok here is how I got it up and running w/ Networking.  I can now run apt-get 
update and get eveyrthing correctly.  I also have networking w/ a windows XP 
image as well.

Install the bridge-utils package, apt-get install bridge-utils or use it 
through adept.

If you have installed qemu through apt-get install qemu, or your favorite 
package manager, the default qemu-if script is located at /etc/qemu-if.
Edit that file:
sudo nano /etc/qemu-if 

#!/bin/sh 
 
 echo "Executing /etc/qemu-ifup" 
 echo "Bringing up $1 for bridged mode..." 
 sudo /sbin/ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 promisc up 
 echo "$Adding $1 to br0.." 
 sudo /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 $1 

Is then what this looks like.  

Edit your /etc/network/interfaces file as well

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces and add in br0 as an interface.  I have 
setup mine so br0 starts automatically and grabs an address from DHCP
# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces. 
 # They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem. 
 mapping hotplug 
 script grep 
 map eth0 
 
 # The primary network interface 
 iface eth0 inet dhcp 
 
 # Bridge 0 
 auto br0 
 iface br0 inet dhcp 

Now when I start qemu (sudo qemu -hda dapper.img) I have a dapper drake image 
running with internet connection.  When you start qemu you should see 
connected to br0.


THat should be it, good luck to all
