Basically, qemu starts with the network configured in tun/tap mode.
tun/tap does not work on OSX
-nics 0 disables all ethernet cards in the emulator (so you don't have a
network)
-user-net uses another method to access the network.

Actually, -user-net needs a /etc/resolv.conf file also. I just checked.

What you can also do is create a Network Location with a DNS. It should also
work.

As to why qemu does not disable the network when it does not find a DNS, well,
it is because it is still beta :-)
