hi, does anyone have a mini-os or similar with a working network driver? I am in the process of porting my ''mstrap'' minimal boot strapper up from Xen 1.3, and was basing my network driver on netfront.c from Linux. Unfortunately the ctrl-interface stuff is pretty hairy and very Linux-specific. thanks, Jacob _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

It might be worth your while waiting for this - I''m not quite sure what the timescale is, but both Rusty + Mike are actively working on it as far as I know. cheers, S. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
