'-net nic,...' only specifies the "hardware" part of QEMU/KVM's networking. You also need to specify whether you are going to use usermode networking or bridged networking. QEMU documentation covers both modes pretty well. To test the card quickly, use usermode networking, where QEMU provides a usermode network stack (complete with DHCP server) that let's you use the VM as if it were behind a completely restrictive firewall that only allows outbound connections. '-net nic,model=virtio -net user' It's a great way to test the network card. If your host has an Internet connection, firing up a browser in the guest (after getting the guest interface up using DHCP) and accessing a web page should "just work". Cheers!
