Hi Matts,

did some additional testing in hope of find easy resolution.

1. Tested FreeBSD 11.3 on VMWare with vmxnet3 network interface

This works with build in vmx driver that is already part of pre-build drivers
so there is no need to explicitly install Open VMWare Tools to get vmxnet3
driver working.


2. Change QEMU / KVM network device type to: vmxnet3

I was not aware that VMWare vmxnet3 was an available option for QEMU, but found
this when searching VMWare tools and QEMU / KVM.

Result: still no network interface found...

As counter point test I run 11.2 Live CD with vmxnet3 on QEMU / KVM and network
interface was found.

So there is definitely vmxnet3 support within QEMU / KVM / LibVirt on Ubuntu
19.10.

Again problem appears to be 11.3 .

So it looks like all potential quick work-around options are now closed off and
only way to fix this is via kernel / driver changes.

Cheers,


John.
