[Bug 838974] Re: Confusing error report for missing vde support

[Serge Hallyn]

Thanks for reporting this bug.

That certainly could be confusing.  However, practically speaking, since
qemu was compiled without that support, it becomes more difficult for
qemu to tell the difference between a unsupported but otherwise-valid
type, and an invalid type.

Perhaps upstream would accept a (trivial) patch changing the message to
always say "expects a valid network client type".  Even more helpful
would be for that message to be followed by a list of valid, supported
network types.
