I searched for code references to the i82559a interface and couldn’t find any outside of the driver itself; it wasn’t exported as a pci_nic_model before my patch, so I don’t think the i82559a device was being used, programmatically or via the command line, before this point. Perhaps there’s a different way to use the device that I’m not aware of?

the modern way to create devices is with -devices.

Most drivers seem to search for a number of PCI IDs in the eepro100 family, at any rate, so I think it should be okay. Let me know if another approach is preferable.

You need a property and set it to a compat value for
old machine types.

There's no need to add more nic names here. Just create with -device.
