[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] net: Fix hotplug with pci_add

[Amit Shah]

The correct model type wasn't getting added when hotplugging nics with
pci_add.

Testcase: start VM with default nic type. In the qemu_monitor:

(qemu) pci_add auto nic model=virtio

This results in a nic hot-plug of the same nic type as the default.

Same goes for mac address and vlan btw, most likely for the same reason. 
  I guess your patch handles this too?

cheers,

Yes, all the properties.
