Create a new Network Interface Card and connect it to VLAN @var{n} (@var{n}
= 0 is the default). The NIC is an ne2k_pci by default on the PC
target. Optionally, the MAC address can be changed to @var{mac}, the
device address set to @var{addr} (PCI cards only),
-and a @var{name} can be assigned for use in monitor commands. If no
-@option{-net} option is specified, a single NIC is created.
-Qemu can emulate several different models of network card.
+and a @var{name} can be assigned for use in monitor commands.
+Optionally, for PCI cards, you can specify the number @var{v} of MSI-X vectors
+that the card should have; this option currently only affects virtio cards; set
+@var{v} = 0 to disable MSI-X. If no @option{-net} option is specified, a single
+NIC is created. Qemu can emulate several different models of network card.
Valid values for @var{type} are
-@code{i82551}, @code{i82557b}, @code{i82559er},

Not all devices are supported on all targets. Use -net nic,model=?
