However, practically speaking, since qemu was compiled without that support, it becomes more difficult for qemu to tell the difference between a unsupported but otherwise-valid type, and an invalid type. + +Perhaps upstream would accept a (trivial) patch changing the message to always say "expects a valid network client type". Even more helpful would be for that message to be followed by a list of valid, supported network types. + +I think this has been fixed by this commit here: +https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=d139e9a6cf01b8c31f59 +... so closing this ticket now. + |
