This will be fixed if we rebase (bug 613593). Fixed in the rebase. Just a note: New code is using: -netdev user,id=usernet -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=usernet This is only used if the user enables networking eg. using guestfs_set_network (g, 1) or using an option like --network to virt-rescue: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#guestfs_set_network http://libguestfs.org/virt-rescue.1.html#network In the vast majority of cases networking is not used at all. This is VERIFIED by:

no -net args for the qemu. -netdev and -device was used instead.
