VirtualBox 3.1 BETA 1. User Manual's changelog must contain: (major new feature) ***VirtIO network support
2. In the Qt GUI the VirtIO network - you have error. You say that it is Linux-only. Not true. VirtIO is available for Windows guests too... (both 32 and 64-bit VMs) See: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/WindowsGuestDrivers -and- http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Internals_of_NDIS_driver_for_VirtIO_based_network_adapter Source code available, so you can build your own drivers. Red Hat however has those drivers pre-built and WHQL tested, signed and certified by Microsoft. WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) ensures better drivers quality. Basically I recommend you to have drivers pre-compiled, and signed by MS. As for Linux guests, I think it requires kernel 2.6.24 (don't remember), or backport. That is, you can install VirtIO drivers using "VBoxLinuxAdditions" on older kernels. 2.6.18 for sure, maybe even earlier, using your compile-on-demand tactics. -- -"Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
