[Xen-users] DomU three nic limit status

[Mark Menard <mark@xxxxxxx>]

This is from an email to the dev list on 12 July 2006 by Iam Pratt:

I'm curious what the status of this issue is. I'd like to have more than
three vif's per guest for consolidation reasons. If there is support for
this in unstable I'd start working with it and give it some testing.

Take care,

Mark
