[yocto] network drivers are not installed when MACHINE qemux86-64

[Nathan Sowatskey]

Hi Khem

Thanks for following up. I am very new to Yocto, so I am probably missing some context around your question.

For example, I don’t know what the “relevant kernel modules” would be, and I don’t know where MACHINE_EXTRA_RECOMMENDS is defined.

I don’t see the MACHINE_EXTRA_RECOMMENDS variable in any file in build/conf, nor in the environment variables.

Regards

Nathan
