Hi Peter,

Thanks for the patch. We fixed the issue internally, albeit a bit differently.

Regards,
Alexander Eichner

Greetings,

Attaching a patch fixing the bug 
#21516<https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/21516> (Cisco CSR 1000v and 8000v does 
not recognize interfaces).

It turns out that in src/VBox/Devices/Network/DevVirtioNet.cpp, the macro 
PCI_CLASS_BASE_NETWORK_CONTROLLER was set to 0x0200 (0x02 =PCI Network Device 
Class ID, 0x00 = Ethernet subclass). However, this macro is passed to another 
macro, PDMPciDevSetClassBase, that expects uint8_t as the PCI device class 
value. This has caused the virtio-net PCI adapter to be reported with the PCI 
class/subclass 0x0000, confusing some host operating systems.

The fix is trivial - set PCI_CLASS_BASE_NETWORK_CONTROLLER to 0x02 instead of 
0x0200.

Please consider integrating this fix at your earliest convenience.

Thank you!

Best regards,
Peter
