What version of qemu is this?
Upstream qemu uses e1000 by default. Checking guest config after
booting 32-bit Vista shows that e1000 adapter acquires an ip address
from userspace networking, however, I wasn't able to connect to
anything. Switching the nic to rtl8193 allowed Vista VM to connect to
the internet.

Bug description:
Problem: When I use userspace networking - i.e. Qemu NAT engine with DHCP -
Vista 32-bit VM guest fails to recognize it.
The only way for Vista VM to work is to manually set IP address:
IP: 10.0.2.2
Gateway: 10.0.2.15
DNS: 10.0.2.3
This problem does not happen with Windows XP VM.
./qemu -hda WindowsVista-32-mypc.qcow2 -m 512 -snapshot -name Vista-32-mypc
btw: NAT itself works - after IPs are manually configured. Emulated NIC is
Realtek RTL8139. Same problem also exists with Intel E1000 NIC.
