device vtnet - device virtio_net?

2013-12-23 Thread Jos Backus
Hi,

GENERIC has

# VirtIO support
device  virtio  # Generic VirtIO bus (required)
device  virtio_pci  # VirtIO PCI device
device  vtnet   # VirtIO Ethernet device
device  virtio_blk  # VirtIO Block device
device  virtio_scsi # VirtIO SCSI device
device  virtio_balloon  # VirtIO Memory Balloon device

Maybe it's just my OCD kicking in, but why is vtnet not named virtio_net?
That would be consistent with the other virtio device names.

Cheers,
Jos

That's what I picked 3 some years ago and it is too late to change it. I
believe my thinking at the time was to match most other Ethernet drives:
the module name is if_vtnet, so use vtnet in the kernel config.


 Cheers,
 Jos
