Just assuming rtl8139 will be available, as we're doing right now, is not very nice either :) > Either upstream will need to dynamically change if it finds the > device > not available, or downstream RHEL libvirt should have a downstream > only > patch to workaround the RHEL QEMU PPC64 changes. Yeah, Martin suggested doing something similar to the first option as well. Let's just probe for a bunch of network devices and use the first one that's available, okay? 1. rtl8139 2. e1000 3. virtio-net Any other we should try? Any drawbacks to this approach?
