If you see on the tap device some packets coming from guest but no response, check the host side - if the bridges are set up correctly, if the firewall rules (or ebtables) forbids the guest's packets etc. This is a problem not related to the $subject line, and lies within your host settings, where kvm package does not try to be smart and provides only over-simplistic, I'd say example-only, network script (see /etc/kvm/kvm-ifup). It is up to either the user or some higher- level management tool (libvirt etc) to set up networking. And this has nothing to do with the guest NIC driver - if you see the problem on host.
