I tried e1000 and it says "qemu: Unsupported NIC: e1000".... :( Did I miss
something.. ?
I downloaded the latest code base for qemu, and I see the following lines in
qemu-doc.texi
*********************
@code{i82551}, @code{i82557b}, @code{i82559er},
@code{ne2k_pci}, @code{ne2k_isa}, @code{pcnet}, @code{rtl8139},
@code{smc91c111}, @code{lance} and @code{mcf_fec}.
*********************
I don't see any e1000 entry there? Meanwhile I am trying to build latest
version of qemu and see if it gets me anywhere.

Done... :)
Also when I get this e1000 thingi working, I am going to add this to the
wiki too :)
