[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/3] qemu-doc: The "-net nic" option can be used with "netdev=...", too |

Looks like we missed to document that it is also possible to specify
a netdev with "-net nic" - which is very useful if you want to
configure your on-board NIC to use a backend that has been specified
with "-netdev".
