There may be very old OSes that had a ne2k driver but not an e1000 driver but I think this is likely theexception. I think the average user is better served with an e1000 vs ne2k.I am unable to get Windows XP to work with the e1000 device, either with its built-in drivers or with Windows Update. I think it's better to switch to rtl8139 (qemu-kvm's default for years now).
Is this a bug or is this not known to work?I'd rather fix the e1000 bug than switch to rtl8139 which is still awfully slow.
