Is iPXE's virtio >= this driver? Or, are there advantages to using your driver over iPXE? It seems that it is easy to download iPXE virtio, and having two might confuse people.
But, I can see advantages to this too: * Supports QEMU < 1.5 without additional download * Vaguely realistic network driver in the EDK II tree - More so than EmulatorPkg/EmuSnpDxe, for instance -Jordan On Thu, May 16, 2013 at 6:01 AM, Laszlo Ersek <ler...@redhat.com> wrote: > Changes in v3: > - Rebased to current master. > - The last patch updates the README file so that NIC driver > possibilities are all listed and their priorities are clearly > represented.
