- now the option is a separate command line switch:
-net capture,vlan=2,file=test.pcap
Is it really necessary/useful to specify this on the command line since
it can be controlled from the monitor?
By that argument you could remove half the rest of the commandline options
(e.g. the USB options).
I was thinking about the use-case. For instance, you probably want to
start and end the capture at specific times. I don't think the common
case it trapping traffic for the entire duration the guest is running.

I think it would be good to expose the whole -net functionality via the
monitor, rather than have a special hack for -net monitor. Obviously some
functionality would only be usable via the commandline (e.g. non-hotplug
NICs)
