Vista has no ne2000 driver, and the rtl8139 driver does not work with the qemu emulated device.
This issue is now resolved and Vista works with the rtl8139 driver since CVS February 2008 and newer.
 
To get Vista to network correctly, specify the ne2k_pci device on the qemu command line:
qemu -net nic,model=ne2k_pci
 
and use the Windows 2000 driver disk, available [http://phaq.phunsites.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/drivercd.iso here].
 
Note: I found that the rtl8139 driver worked with kvm and Vista just fine.  I also found the download link above to be broken.  So you might also try:
qemu -net nic,model=rtl8139
 
Note: that's because the emulated rtl8139 was fixed with the last QEMU CVS merge. Vista guests '''should''' use rtl8139, as Vista's rtl8139 driver now works.
