 Description  « Hide
If you create a OVF file descriptor with the following information about a network card:

      <Item>
        <rasd:AutomaticAllocation>true</rasd:AutomaticAllocation>
        <rasd:Connection>Bridged</rasd:Connection>
        <rasd:Description>E1000 ethernet adapter on "Bridged"</rasd:Description>
        <rasd:ElementName>unknown device</rasd:ElementName>
        <rasd:InstanceID>6</rasd:InstanceID>
        <rasd:ResourceSubType>E1000</rasd:ResourceSubType>
        <rasd:ResourceType>10</rasd:ResourceType>
      </Item>

In VirtualBox, this information is not applied in the configuration of the Virtual Machine.

For all the hypervisor, it should be created a Network Card according to the information provided by the OVF, and no assumption about the Network Card Controller should be done.

At this moment, it seems that the virtual machines created for each hypervisor uses the default network card and this is not correct. It should use the NIC provided in the OVF.

If no information about the NIC is provided. then it should be assigned the 'E1000' card by default, because it's the one that guarantees that will work in all the hypervisors.

Which one?

NetworkAdapterType_I82540EM Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop network card (82540EM).
NetworkAdapterType_I82543GC Intel PRO/1000 T Server network card (82543GC).
NetworkAdapterType_I82545EM Intel PRO/1000 MT Server network card (82545EM).

It seems E1000 in VBox corresponds to:

82543GC

But I guess they are all E1000 compatible.
