qemu doesn't seem to emulate it unless it's called something else:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -device \? | grep -i lance
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -device \? | grep -i 7990
Back in the day (early 90s) LANCE was extremely common in embedded systems. We had a whole variety of Microware OS-9 machines that had LANCE chips for ethernet. So if you wanted to emulate that era of software it would make sense to emulate it.
