Testing the latest Ubuntu Server iso, I can see that the proper
modules are loaded:
 * virtio
 * virtio_net
 * virtio_pci
 * virtio_ring

However, networking autodetected with my current setup, using:
 * kvm -m 256 -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:25:84:fa,vlan=0,model=virtio
-hda foo3.img -cdrom intrepid-server-amd64.is

Talking to Anthony Ligouri, he mentioned that virtio net using 'slirp'
was broken upstream, and he recommended following this howto:
 * http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/AnthonyLiguori/Networking

And then using:
 * kvm with -net tap,vlan=0 -net nic,....

I will try that next.
