It is 

  /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -hda testpxe.vmdk \
                              -boot n \
                              -option-rom /usr/share/qemu/pxe-rtl8139.rom \
                              -net nic \
                              -net tap,ifname=virttap,script=no,downscript=no

what I found at https://www.saminiir.com/debugging-pxe-boot/ 
with https://duckduckgo.com/?q=qemu-system+iPXE+-netdev


Next: remixing that information into the wanted

   make bin/vendcard.rom
   qemu $PARAMETERS -option-rom bin/vendcard.rom
