The full qemu cmdline is this:

I rebuilt the whole image now with patched ifupdown, so that the netdev group
is created as expected and /etc/network/interfaces is initialized (but the
latter point is irrelevant because debvm overrides the file).

That doesn't look very helpful so here is also the output of "lspci -vvx":
