+ For hypervisors which support this, you can set the model of
+ emulated network interface card.

+
+ <p>
+ The values for <code>type</code> aren't defined specifically by
+ libvirt, but by what the underlying hypervisor supports (if
+ any). For QEMU and KVM you can get a list of supported models
+ with these commands:

+<pre>
+qemu -net nic,model=? /dev/null
+qemu-kvm -net nic,model=? /dev/null
+</pre>

+ <p>
+ Typical values for QEMU and KVM include:
