Hi,
I want to assign a DLINK DWA-556 to a virtual machine on a Supermicro
C2SBC-Q Board with vt-d enabled. When I start the machinge I get a
"freeing invalid memtype" error.
I saw the card in the virtual machine and the ath9k driver load without
errors, all tools can access the card, but I get no connections or see
wlans during iwlist scan.
On the host the card works properly.
I use qemu-kvm-devel-88 and kvm-kmod-devel-88.
Hopefully someone can help me with this problem.
regards
wolfgang
I attached the lspci output from the host and guest.
start command:
kvm -name router -hda /kvm/router/hda.img -hdb /kvm/router/swap.img -m
256 -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56 -net tap,vlan=0 -curses
-pcidevice host=05:00.0
this is the dmesg output on the host.
