Re: [libvirt] libvirt with qemu-kvm, not recognizing NIC model
Sorry, it turned out to be the operating system of the guest OS having
the issue. It was not an issue with libvirt.
My bad,
Jon

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.
