Hello everyone! I''m working on porting an OS kernel to Xen 3.0 (to run as domU). Thanks to the excellent GDB support, I''ve manged to move along a bit in the bootup process, to the point where networking support is needed (well, more problems will arise when starting user processes). The operating system has a compability layer for NetBSD, so I thought I''d base the driver on if_xennet from the NetBSD/Xen port. However, if I am not mistaken, NetBSD only works with Xen 2.0, and some things have changed in Xen-unstable. One thing I wonder about is the xen/io/domain_controller.h header, which as been removed. I''m unsure about what has replaced this functionality (e.g., the control_msg_t), has this been replaced by xenbus? Sorry for the potentially stupid questions :-) -- // Simon _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

It''s been replaced by Xenbus for control-plane interactions and by a dedicated console driver.
