<p>
For hypervisors which support this, you can set the model of
emulated network interface card.
</p>
<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:
</p>
<pre>
qemu -net nic,model=? /dev/null
qemu-kvm -net nic,model=? /dev/null
</pre>
<p>
Typical values for QEMU and KVM include:
ne2k_isa i82551 i82557b i82559er ne2k_pci pcnet rtl8139 e1000 virtio
