Hi, I've bisected the following failure of the virtio_net linux v4.10 driver to probe in QEMU v2.9.0-rc1 emulating a MIPS Malta machine: virtio_net virtio0: virtio: device uses modern interface but does not have VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 virtio_net: probe of virtio0 failed with error -22 To QEMU commit 9a4c0e220d8a ("hw/virtio-pci: fix virtio behaviour"). It appears that adding ",disable-modern=on,disable-legacy=off" to the virtio-net -device makes it work again. I presume this should really just work out of the box. Any ideas why it isn't? Cheers James
