Hi Lukas, Yeah we only fixed vmxnet3 and gave up on e1000e, see the first section on comment #8. e1000e had issues but was considered not too important to make this a big thing. If there is a super-special really-hard-need-e1000e use-case then please file a new bug to discuss there. -- You rec

Hi I have installed the ipxe package (1.0.0+git-20180124.fbe8c52d-0ubuntu2) on ubuntu 18.04. However, there is no efi-e1000e.rom, and hence qemu does not work with a e1000e device. I'm trying to run the following command: qemu-system-x86_64 -netdev user,id=network0 -device e1000e,netdev=network0

I was looking into that and it seems vmxnet3 is totally fine. But e1000e has build issues. I think I have seen this kind of issue on rom builds in the past but couldn't get it working reliably. OTOH e1000e is only the emulated card and vmxnet3 probably way more important. So better to add this th

I'm already of why the prebuilt ones were removed, but that doesnt't actually answer how they were missed when updating qemu to 2.7 (vmxnet3 PXE is mentioned in the changelog). Part of the problem is that on updating, all the PXE roms are blindly removed without checking for any new ones since the

Hi Nathan, I highly appreciate you coming up with the change proposed here as I can include it when working on this set of packages anyway. IMHO it is an actual feature request, even thou the reasons to have missed to add the feature earlier lie in the past - I want you to understand why, so I a

Someone has already submitted it to Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=868124 This isn't exactly a feature request, it should have been added when qemu was updated to 2.8. The prebuilt PXE roms bundled with qemu were removed in favour of building them all from source (this
