Hi!

qemu-kvm seems to support only 8 network interfaces.
I found this posting from 2009:
http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg10104.html

Why is MAX_NICS still only 8?
Please raise this limit in future releases.

I have some use cases where much more than 8 nics are needed.
(Lot's of VLANs...)

Thanks,
