A Fedora user reported that Vista networking isn't working with KVM[1] and
pointed to the Wiki

http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Vista_Networking_Workaround

FYI, a patch from Xen was merged into upstream QEMU to fix this problem
with rtl8139 a week or two back and works nicely with KVM+Vista...

..avoiding need for messing around with ne2k drivers as mentioned in the wiki

Regards,
Dan.
