Isn't E1000 a 1Gbps interface? I thought that was the hard coded limit in the module hence why I'm shying away. I switched to vmxnet3 and it's working again. I suppose I just need this to spin up a basic config then will be able to switch to SR-IOV. One thing is sure: I have tried ever possible knob for virtio and it does not work. Here was the ping output:
