LE 12.0 added lvm2, luks (dm-crypt, veracrypt), mdraid, ext4 encryption

Do the N150 builds include the virtio* devices (net/balloon etc)?

I have network access in a VM with your latest generic image, but trying to set wake on lan on eth0 throws an error:

Code

# ethtool -s eth0 wol g
netlink error: Operation not supported
 
# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:

I don;t especially like the unknown speed/duplex etc above... Also no reference to the virtio-net driver used, see

EDIT 2: Also tried LE13 official nightly which does seem to work just fine. Seems the LE12 kernel does not support the N150?

I started a new job a moth ago and I am pretty busy, but I plan to update my LE12 and maybe even with a new kernel for generic.

No worries buddy!

Your nightly runs just fine (the LE12 does not run due to the kernel version, whereas LE13 nightly also runs just fine). So there's no pressure really

It's just strange the way virtio-lan works with the kernel; it does not "present" its features (unless it's a dummy driver). Same behaviour in LE13 nightly as well (see also Does the STANDARD LE (not the virtualized image) support the virtio devices (especially virtio net)? )

And thank you for your build
