A solution to this problem is on the horizon: Intel's Virtualization for Directed IO aka VT-d makes it possible to map input/output devices to particular virtual machines. But even without this access to network cards is no problem. The virtual ethernet interfaces on the virtual domains are bridged with the physical ethernet card controlled by privilidged domain 0. It is currently video and other hardware that are the issue. -- Tracy R Reed http://copilotconsulting.com 1-877-MY-COPILOT -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
