Is there a way to determine what the hypervisor default NIC is? I'm using kvm/libvirt/qemu. If this is the wrong forum please please reply with that.
Long story short, depending on what your quemu supports libvirt has a preference function that tries to pick the most widely supported NIC model: http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=src/qemu/qemu_domain.c;h=0a85... We don't query the OS in any way for the list of supported NIC models. However, looks like virt-install has some logic on this matter too which actually consults the guests OS (well, libosinfo): https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager/blob/master/virtinst/osdict.py#...
