I get around 150Mb, (on a Gb interface). But then its still showing as "-device rtl8139" on the host. Should that be?
No. If you say <model type='virtio'/>, then the qemu commandline will have "-device virtio-net". If it doesn't then your config change hasn't taken effect. After making the change, did you completely shutdown the guest, then restart it (a reboot operation from within the guest isn't sufficient to bring in the config changes, as it doesn't terminate and restart the qemu process).
Yeah I did. Probably my libvirt and/or kvm-qemu is just too old. Didn't restart the host. But totally shut down the guest several times. I'll be bringing libvirt and kvm-qemu up to current releases presently. If that doesn't fix it, then there's a deeper mystery here. Whit
