e1000 emulation is a default in qemu. It would be nice to have available
in a cloud kernel. While most of the time one will use virtio, or some
other cloud specific driver, for troubleshooting images, booting system
images in recovery mode, manually, etc, it is good to have e1000 as it is
easy to run in qemu.

For completeness this is how it presents in lspci:

00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03)

This is with default qemu settings. (i440fx chipset).

With -M q35 (which is also very commonly used), qemu defaults to using:

00:02.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection

This is handled by e1000e module.

As far as I know neither of these modules require any firmware files. And
qemu emulated device would not use it anyway.

So please include e1000 and e1000e in default cloud kernel image buld.

While at it, it would be nice to have ptp module probably. And ptp_kvm (I
actually use that on real cloud instances, not just in qemu).

As of the file size, for rather unknown reasons the e1000.ko and
e1000e.ko files are rather large, 300KB and 616KB on my system. Plus
another 49K for ptp. It is a little more than expected. My guess this is
due to inclusion of debug symbols. One way or another, it should be
included in the cloud image.


Regards,
Witold
