Virtio networking works OK for me... I guess from the patch that this is adding support for the legacy '-net' way of configuring networking, but do we need that if we never supported it in the first place? (If virt is the only PCI machine which doesn't support -net syntax that would probably be a strong argument for supporting it.) thanks -- PMM
