Correct, that's what I wanted to look into, but I'm building a new desktop env and I'm slow... So, indeed, with qemu 1.6.1, if it has been installed correctly with "make install", then qemu should load the option ROM for the rtl8139, which (thanks to Gerd) is now also an UEFI build of the iPXE driver. This driver provides the Simple Network Protocol interface for the card, which means that it should work under all the "usual" circumstances (PXE boot, ping from the shell etc.) I'll try to reproduce the issue later (hopefully still today).
