Re: [libvirt] libvirt with qemu-kvm, not recognizing NIC model

Is this the right list for this question, or should I be elsewhere?
I am trying to specify a network card “model type” of “pcnet” (to
emulate vmware esxi’s network card). No matter what I put for model type
in my xml config file, it comes up as an Intel e1000. I ran “qemu-kvm
–net nic,model=? /dev/null” and I got back a list of supported models
including pcnet,e1000,virtio, and others as expected. No matter which I
put in my xml file for /etc/libvirt/qemu/Symantec-bg.xml (a Symantec
Brightmail Gateway virtual machine), I just get back that its an Intel
card on boot (which doesn’t work with Symantec BG).
Hm, this works just fine for me; I'm able to choose any of the above
when I create a guest. However, you don't want to edit the /etc/libvirt
file directly. Libvirt only reads that at startup and reload; during
runtime it isn't re-read. To make the edit, you'll want to either
use virt-manager or "virsh edit <guest>".
If that doesn't work, post your entire XML file.
