Subject: [Qemu-devel] [patch] Misleading -net documentation
Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2006 16:26:51 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200601311626.51875.paul@codesourcery.com> (raw)

The qemu documentation implies that "-net user" is the default. It's actually 
"-net user -net nic". The patch below clarifies the documentation. I've also 
moved the description of the default to -net none as that seems a more 
logical place for it.
