Public bug reported: When creating a new Windows guest with German language for the installer, the guest doesn't have working virtual NICs. This happens with e1000e, as well as virtio. This behaviour can be observed with Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS + qemu-system-x86 1:8.2.2+ds-0ubuntu1.6, and Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS + qemu-system-x86 1:6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu6.25.
There's a patch upstream[1], which I'd like to see backported to at least 24.04, and maybe even 22.04. I've successfully tested the patch on 24.04. The qemu version used for 22.04 is too old for the patch to apply without additional work. Please see this virtio-win issue[2] for more details. (The workaround[3] does indeed work, but it's a bit annoying to have to manually touch packer + vagrant deployments.)
