Description of problem: Related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431063 qemu-kvm -nic model={virtio,e1000,...} options would be nice to be able to be passed from virt-manager. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.5.3
In the meantime, better documentation on how to add them to the .xml domain config file manually would help. I resorted to downloading the libvirt source and copying the settings from one of the sexp->xml test cases! (the virtualization-related spec files ought to include the full download URLs, by the way, so that spectool -gf can download them easily)
ping, been open 5 months with no comment...

Sorry for the long delay on this! This is now implemented upstream. When adding a nic to an existing VM via the 'Add Hardware' wizard, there is an option to select a nic model. A new version of virt-manager will be out next week, and eventually make it's way to F10. Moving to POST.
Oops, this bug was filed against rawhide, so closing (feature is present in virt-manager 0.6.1)
