NIC = Network Interface Card (not driver).

Maybe it is better that qemu catches bad drivers before they harm real hardware. Of cause if a real NIC does something useful when given that out of range value (such as changing a flag or doing other effects while transferring no data), then it would be best for qemu to emulate that feature when emulating that real hardware. If the driver in question is the standard driver in a major OS (such as upstream Linux), and has been for some time, with no adverse effect on real hardware, then it might make sense for qemu to accept the quirky driver as a service to the many users who want to boot stock OS images.
