Hi Trishan,

I am aware of the update, but as v18.11 is out, that list is missing a few items
again. At least for NICs there are new vendors and drivers, and I expect same is
valid for other device types.

That is OK, can we update the wording there to say these are some sample of what
we support, otherwise it looks like that is the whole list.
