Yes. Establishing rules for alias names for builtin devices should reduce the pain, and allow stuff like this: -netdev user,id=mynetdev \ -qom-set-property buildin-nic0.netdev=mynetdev We probably also want a shorter name for -qom-set-property, and maybe also syntax which allows to set multiple properties in one go, so the command line doesn't become too long. cheers, Gerd
