[Xen-devel] changeset 16405: Add e100 NIC support.

["Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I see we've just added a completely new hardware driver to Xen's QEMU...

http://xenbits.xensource.com/staging/xen-unstable.hg?rev/ec0bc82cebfd

Please send this patch to upstream qemu-devel mailing list for review
& inclusion so we don't have to carry this in Xen's QEMU forever....

The commit message suggests this is primarily for windows/ia64. Does anyone
have any info though on how it compares to the current rtl8139 driver in
terms of throughput ? ie would it be worth using for Linux guests too in
preference to rtl8139, or is it only useful for the windows/ia64 niche ?

Regards,
Dan.
