It will be > nice if the new driver works better :-) I already used a derivative of these directions... "cheated" and used the igb driver like they did. Unlike them I automated the entire process, including updating the base OS to latest kernel and recompiling against it, as well as auto-enabling the NICs, the SSE instruction sets, etc. etc. However their directions use an IGB NIC not a virtio-net NIC which would be much better for performance and resource consumption. So I really would be very very happy if we had a virtio-net which worked properly with both qemu and VirtualBox. Matthew.
