QEMU "VLANs" are not 802.1Q VLANs.  The terminology is confusing but it
has nothing to do with vconfig.

This error is displayed because there are two parts to the network
configuration options:
1. Emulated guest device, for example rtl8139 or virtio-net.
2. Host netdev, for example tap or the userspace SLIRP stack.

The error means you have only defined the emulated guest device but no
host netdev.  QEMU needs to know how you wish to connect the guest to
the outside world.

Here is a complete network configuration to try:

  qemu -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user

There is more detail here:
