The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue:
Issue #154: virtio-network: Avoid confusion between a card and a device
--------------------------------------
Problem statement:
Ethernet card is a relatively vague term in context of virtio network
device specification. A Ethernet card in the industry has one to
multiple ports, one to multiple PCI functions.
Historically virtio network device is documented as a Ethernet card.
However it is usually just a single virtual Ethernet device.
Solution:
Hence, avoid this confusing term 'card' and align the specification
to adhere to widely used specification term as 'device' used for all
virtio device types.

The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio-v1.3-cs01", and future versions of the
specification.

Reminder: A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights. As
the Virtio TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by
electronic ballot, without Meetings, a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot
in two consecutive Work Product Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the
close of the second ballot missed.
