Xen users - Jan 2009 - e1000 support for hvm-DomU

Hello list,

are there any "ready-to-run" xen packages which support the e1000 nic
in a
hvm-DomU (for windows 2003).

I tried the xen3.2 packages from Ubuntu 8.04 but apparently the e1000-patch 
for the ioemu is not applied in thoes packages.

What''s the least hassle to get e1000 working in a hvm-DomU? Does it
work out
of the box with the xen3.3-sources, or do I need to apply any patches (such as 
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2008-02/msg00874.html) in 
order to get e1000-support?

TIA,

Joern

It seems to be present but doesn''t work properly in my Xen 3.3.0 setup
(Although I was not trying it with a weird OS so might have been the OS
- detected an Intel NIC but froze), i82551, i82557b, i82559er were all
present. There is a 10Gb driver too, ''myri10ge'' which I guess
should
appear soon.

May I ask what you need it for?
If you want to get > 100Mbps network performance, wouldn''t it be
better to use GPLPV driver instead?

thanks for the hint! That''s in fact a better solution! Works like a
charm.
You are my hero! :-)
