The answer seems so unbelievably simple: xm create instead of virsh or virt-manager, and model=e1000 then works ... incredible ! I know that virsh uses different configuration file format (xml instead of flat file in /etc/xen), but I always thought they were just front ends for xen ... now I see there is more. Now I can plan some serious testing of this platform ... ZP.
