Just rebuild qemu. It might pay to check the RSB log file by searching
for vde to make sure the RSB and qemu have found the vde libraries.

I am still playing with VDE to figure it all out. Basically create a
vde_switch and connect it to a tap interface. Set the group and mod if
you want to handle security. The man has the details. Start qemu with
'-net vde,sock=/tmp/vde.ctl' or the path to the control port the
vde_switch makes.

I like the idea of VDE because you can have a 32 port virtual switch
which means parallel network testing using qemu. Plus it is done without
root access.
