Hi, We have found it useful to have the virtio net device export a linkspeed and duplex setting, such that a guest linkspeed and duplex settings can be set automatically from the host side. We have some guest software that relies on this setting, and fails without a valid value provided. Thus, I would like to propose adding a new feature bit:
VIRTIO_NET_F_SPEED_DUPLEX (4) Device provides a linkspeed and duplex setting I have provided sample qemu hypervisor and linux kernel guest code to implement this feature here: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1712.1/05692.html Thanks, -Jason --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
