VyOS 1.2 is currently missing the kernel module. However, enabling it and marking the AMI as "Supports ENA" is sufficient. ENA is running stable and fast in the stock Linux kernel for me.

syncer edited projects, added VyOS 1.2 Crux; removed VyOS 1.2 Crux (VyOS 1.2.0-rc4).
syncer moved this task from Need Triage to Finished on the VyOS 1.2 Crux board.
