Subject: [Qemu-devel] ipxe and arm
Date: Wed, 11 May 2016 15:03:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1462971832.5679.50.camel@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi,
ipxe gained support for arm and aarch64 efi platforms. So we could add
support to our nic pci roms with the next ipxe update.
But: The question is whenever that makes sense in the first place.
Support for virtio-net is in edk2, so that is covered already. The
other pci nics are not, but given that virtio-net predates arm
virtualization all guests should be able to handle virtio-net just fine.
And I doubt anybody seriously prefers rtl8139 or e1000 over virtio-net
unless the lack of guest driver support mandates it ...
Comments anyone?
cheers,
Gerd
