It shouldn't be there.  I guess you've trapped into automagic device
creation logic in qemu.  When neither -net nor -netdev is specified on
the command line qemu creates a default network setup for you, which
includes a nic, and that probably is the rom of the automagically
created nic.

Try "qemu -netdev user,id=mynet -device rtl8139,romfile=,netdev=mynet",
then it should work as expected.

HTH,
