In that case, you want to change your host computer's config:
Suppose that your main nic is eth0. Instead of
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.1.7.57
netmask 255.255.127.0
gateway 10.1.0.1
you want to change that to
auto eth0
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 10.1.7.57
netmask 255.255.127.0
gateway 10.1.0.1
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_maxwait 1
bridge_stp on
And from then on, remember that br0 is your main nic, not eth0.
Now you can start your kvm/qemu with:
-device virtio-net-pci,vlan=0,id=net0,mac=$MAC,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3
(remember to specify the MAC address, or use
livirtd/virt-manager to take care of setup details for you)
