IIRC "-nic model=help" only lists the PCI devices for some historical reasons. You can get a list of all devices by running QEMU with "- device help". I've never tried it, so no clue whether it works, but you might want to try: -netdev user,id=n1 -device virtio-net-device,netdev=n1 or: -netdev user,id=n1 -device ne2k_isa,netdev=n1 to get a NIC with the microvm machine.
