Hi Varun, for what it's worth, we've been using the Intel e1000/igb NIC in gem5 with regular Linux for a while without problems, I would start there unless you really want the other NIC.
We have some working (albeit complicated) full system dist gem5 (for a slightly dated gem5 version) scripts with them here: https://github.com/simbricks/gem5/blob/main/configs/simbricks/dist.py https://github.com/simbricks/gem5/blob/main/util/dist/test/run_x86.sh In general the new gem5-library style configurations for x86 full system config seem to be much easier to understand and use, e.g. here: https://github.com/gem5/gem5/blob/stable/configs/example/gem5_library/x86-ubuntu-run.py Just creating multiple systems and adding the PCI NICs should be straight forward. Finally, if you plan to do larger simulations with many hosts etc. you might want to have a look at SimBricks https://simbricks.github.io/ which also includes some newer NICs that you can plug into gem5.
