I don't think so. >From a hypervisor perspective, general function I think is more important than running as fast as possible. Historically users have always enabled additional speed by swapping out emulated devices for paravirtual ones.
For users of the command line, changing the default will have impact on commands that are currently working with e1000 that may not work without it. I suspect that the number of OSes with e1000 support is still far greater than ones that come with virtio drivers. At a minumum, Windows images don't include virtio drivers by default, so this change would catch all of those users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1776696 Title: sensible default NIC for x86?
