vlan option is misleading, what about vnet ?

Hi qemu/kvm devels!

I think vlan network option is misleading because it's about a virtual network and not 802.1Q .

I'd like to rename it vnet (or something similar.. any ideas?) and then mark vlan option deprecated somehow.

Is it ok for you?

Thank you,

luca

my vote for renaming. would have saved me a lot of time once.

Me too.

Maybe the manual should come with a warning for people that want to run multiple QEMUs with taps and a bridge on the host.

I had this setup:
br0 (public ip) -> qemu0 to qemu9

br1 (private ip) -> qemu10 to qemu20

I have one of each on each virtual machine and it get into a nice loop because qemu didn't separate traffic properly without the vlan option.
