Description Cole Robinson 2016-04-20 18:34:03 UTC

(split out from bug 861345)

We should support qemu's usb-net device. XML something like:

    <interface type='network'>
       [ ... ]
       <model type='usb-net'/>
       <address type='usb' ... />
    </interface>

Previous attempt at patches:

A good reference commit to see how to implement something like that is this commit adding usb-audio support:
