The fact that your network card is virtualised doesn't matter, the guest OS doesn't know about that. You need to emulate a real-world network card, and find a packet driver for it, just like if it would be real hardware.
"qemu -device ?" shows the list of supported devices. With a quick look I see a "rtl8139" position, and that's a card for which a packet driver exists. You can get it here: gopher://gopher.viste.fr/1/hardware/network/Realtek/RTL8139 You might want to test other options though, because the Realtek packet driver is quite RAM-hungry (26K). For comparison, the 3C590 packet driver from 3Com consumes only 11K.
