Running Artix in a VM. Can't get virtio NAT connection. (libvirt/virt-manager)

I'm not sure if the question fits in here since I'm running Artix inside a VM. 
Host is Manjaro Linux. 

For whatever reason the NAT connection is lost. 
This time even creating a my VM again from scratch is no longer working. 
An e1000e connection does work.

On guest:

ip addr on guest


virt-manager connection in xml
Code: [Select]
<interface type="network">
  <mac address="52:54:00:8d:cd:66"/>
  <source network="default" portid="94cebc1a-2b7b-41ba-91a4-22958fe3aef4" bridge="virbr0"/>
  <target dev="vnet4"/>
  <model type="virtio"/>
  <alias name="net0"/>
  <address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x01" slot="0x00" function="0x0"/>
</interface>

On host:

ip addr on host
Code: [Select]
$ ip addr
...

I solved it. 
This thread can be deleted as it had nothing to do with Artix, as I don't see how I could do it. 

The issue is that for some reason my virt-manager network interface options does not include virtio-net, only virtio. 
I edited the correct model in xml.
