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 package). Which isn't very helpful if this package is going to lag quite a bit behind qemu. The package description says "This package provides boot code for the qemu emulated network cards in as boot ROMs." Which should mean all network cards qemu supports, not just some of them. Right now there's actually vmxnet3 and e1000e missing. $ qemu-system-x86_64 -netdev user,id=hostnet0 -device e1000e,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0 -nographic qemu-system-x86_64: -device e1000e,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0: failed to find romfile "efi-e1000e.rom" $ qemu-system-x86_64 -netdev user,id=hostnet0 -device vmxnet3,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0 -nographic qemu-system-x86_64: -device vmxnet3,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0: failed to find romfile "efi-vmxnet3.rom" ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #868124 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=868124 ** Patch added: "enable-e1000e_vmxnet3.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipxe/+bug/1737211/+attachment/5021843/+files/enable-e1000e_vmxnet3.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1737211 Title: ipxe-qemu is missing support for devices since qemu 2.7 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipxe/+bug/1737211/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
