Title Using Intel PRO/1000 (82545EM) as virtual network interface instead of PCNET32
Date Oct 6, 2014
Level Prominent Change
Class Bug Fix
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed
Appliance Version 1.1.1

We experienced some network issues like packet drops with the PCNET32 interface driver. We changed the default to Intel PRO/1000 (82545EM) now as it should be more stable.

You can always switch back to the old (or another) driver if you need to. Please let us know if this is needed and why.
