one question: Is there ever a situation where regular Linux network interfaces will be available while you'd need to also configure CTC/QETH/IUCV devices? Is such a thing even possible? If not could we simply skip that prompt if we see a regular one because then we know it's VirtIO/PCI/other? Kind regards and thanks Philipp Kern
