+The term "vlan" was very confusing for most users in this context (it's about
+specifying a hub ID, not about IEEE 802.1Q or something similar), so this
+has been removed. To connect one NIC frontend with a network backend, either
+use ``-nic ...`` (e.g. for on-board NICs) or use ``-netdev ...,id=n`` together
+with ``-device ...,netdev=n`` (for full control over pluggable NICs). To
+connect multiple NICs or network backends via a hub device (which is what
+vlan did), use ``-nic hubport,hubid=x,...`` or
+``-netdev hubport,id=n,hubid=x,...`` (with ``-device ...,netdev=n``) instead.
