Thanks for the insight, but I'm trying to do something different. I'm creating a bare metal system and I'd like to use qemu to emulate a "real" system so I can develop "drivers" (a NIC to start with) and then, most importantly, test it on a "real" hardware. On Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 2:17 AM Frantise

Just a couple notes... The e1000 is a whole family of Intel Gb Ethernet chips with a pretty long tradition, especially if you include the preceding 100Mb line by Intel. The 1Gb family enjoys a great deal of software compatibility across the family - yet there has been some development over the

Here is the output and indicates the most upto date chipset is the "q35" apparently from 2009, I guess better than the alternative i440Fx from 1996: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -M '?' Supported machines are: pc Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) (alias of pc-i440fx-2.4) pc-i440fx-2.4
