It's still there, it just gets selected differently.  If you want to
use an ne2000 device, you can request it on a per-vif basis by adding
model=ne2k_pci to the vif config:
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, model=ne2k_pci' ]

Also, please try the realtek device again, most of the hardware
support was quite broken until yesterday/today.
