(for clarity, rather than as an argument against this idea) This isn't how -net works : "-net nic,options" sets up an entry in the nd_table[], and the board will then pick up those entries based on some ad-hoc combination of order and whether a model= was specified for that nic. > Sounds like a simple way to solve it, as long as machines use the > standard name(s) for build-in NICs. How would this work for (for example) specifying a macaddr for the built-in NIC? At the moment you can do that with -net nic,macaddr=<whatever>. -- PMM
