[Qemu-devel] Exposing different e1000 models through cmdline

[Peter Lieven <pl@kamp.de>]

Hi,

I found that vmware emulates a 82545em per default and so some special crafted appliances only
work with that card. I was wondering if the below is the right approach to make the
models selectable via cmdline without changing the default:

diff --git a/hw/pci/pci.c b/hw/pci/pci.c
index 371699c..632c4ba 100644
--- a/hw/pci/pci.c
