You could have: > > -drive.vda.if virtio -drive.vda.file filename.img > -net nic,model=rtl8139,name=foo -net.foo.macaddr 00:11:43:55:44:22 Looks like a very verbose syntax. However, it's the cleanest suggestion so far, IMHO. It might be perfectly reasonable to use for management apps or for a single option (the file name) manually as needed. We'll need to retain the old, more convenient syntax anyway for compatibility. Your examples are mixed style already, so this is probably what you intended anyway.
