[Qemu-devel] Re: PATCH: allow defining MAC address etc

[jamal]

And heres a small cleanup on top of that patch.
Just removes and extraneous printfs and makes sure we use the
":" as delimiter for mac address instead of ".". If needed i can resend
the whole thing again with this new cleanup.

cheers,
jamal
