The problem with these NICs is that they are PCI or even ISA. Also, they are quite rare compared to, e.g., an igb/e1000e NIC. A driver for an igb/e1000e NIC would be quite similar to the ixgbe driver.
However, since the main goal of using these NICs seems to be support in virtual environments: just using virtio is better.
