Re: Issues with network device since Qemu 6.0.0 (German Windows Server 2022)

Hello again,

I'm feeling silly.

I have a small script that reads each machine's configuration from a file and 
starts Qemu with all the configured parameters. By luck I just discovered that 
this script had a bug which led to Qemu being started without the -machine 
parameter. So the default, pc-i440fx, was used.

Now with the -machine parameter and when using 'q35' I can install Windows 
Server 2022 using Qemu 7.0.0 and virtio driver version 221 without problems. 
The network device is okay and just works.

I'm sorry, I hope I haven't wasted someone's time.
