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
