LXD with Win11 - no network adapter driver

[chris-taylor-develop]

I am following the tutorial ‘How to install a Windows 11 VM using LXD’ at How to install a Windows 11 VM using LXD | Ubuntu. My version of LXD is 5.21.3 LTS. My version of Ubuntu is 24.04.2 LTS

Everything is OK until I get to the Windows Installer screen. The Installer asks me for a network adapter driver (screenshot below). Where are these drivers? I assumed that LXD itself would provide all the required drivers? How can I proceed to install Win11 in LXD?

lxd init
lxc network list
networkctl list
lxc list
lxc config show win11
lxc profile show default
lxc profile edit default

devices:
  enp1s0:
    name: eth0
    network: lxdbr0
    type: nic

but also bridge could be

devices:
  enp1s0:
    nictype: bridged
    parent: lxdbr0
    type: nic

it could also be some ufw forward between interfaces or allow ports or dhcp port things or other network issues… But winbind, wsdd and similar services are not part of Linux best practices how to handle Windows issues.

I don’t understand your reply. Can you explain further please? How does your reply help me meet my objective.

You could maybe give +1, maybe -1

I’ve never used the software you are referring to but the image in your initial post tells you to download it from the device manufacturers website, the netwrok adapter. There is also a link in that image so did you try going to that site?
