Debian VM - No Network Detected


Recommended Posts

Hopefully this is pretty simple.

 

Trying to make a Debian Jesse VM. However, it keeps saying that there is no network card detected:

I have other VMs running on br0 no problem (1 Windows, 2 Ubuntu). Here is the 'Edit VM' page. No custom XML edits:

lspci in VM:

I have tried both SeaBios and OVMF, same problem. I am using the netinstall images, I will download the full images and try that, but you would think that the netinstall would have the correct drivers right :-D.

 

Help?

Set the network adapter to be an E1000 rather than virtio in the XML for the VM.

 

So change:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'/>
      <source bridge='br0'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x0x' slot='0x0x' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

To this:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'/>
      <source bridge='br0'/>
      <model type='e1000-82545em'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x0x' slot='0x0x' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

Bingo. That did it. Thank you ! :-)
