It would be useful (IMO) for qemu to do something like wireshark does for
granting permissions to access the netowrk devices, specifically a
(non-default) debconf option that cretes a group (in wireshark's case called
wireshark), and makes the executable owned by the the group, no everyone
permissions, and the exe is granted permissions to change the network via
libcap.
I think this is a job for management layer (such as libvirt).
Yes the network setup in qemu is simplistic (see also #572784
and #417930), but the thing is: any "simple" solution we can
provide will be insufficient for many non-managed usage scenarios.
So we deliberately do NOT provide fancy networking support, --
non-experienced users will use management layers such as libvirt,
and more experienced users will set up their own network the way
they want it.
Tagging this as wontfix for now.
Thanks,
