Hello,

I'm running xen-3.0.2-3 and try to share the 4 ports of a adaptec
4port ethernet card between dom0 and domU by using
pciback.hide. Therefor I had to modify the domU driver for the tulip
cards due to the fact that there is only one eeprom on the board and
all 4 ports of the card are using the same interrupt line. When
starting the dom0 tulip driver (unmodified) I get two working
eth-interfaces, after starting the domU tulip driver (modified) I got
two eth-interfaces inside of the guest. These interfaces are looking
good when doing ifconfig, but when setting them up, the interrupts are
going to dom0 (CPU usage of dom0 round about 95%) and the interfaces
in the guest are not working.

So my question is: Is it possible to share the same interrupt between
dom0 and domU?

If have a working setup with two independent tulip based ethernet
cards for domU and the 4port card in dom0 and vice versa - the only
thing that is not working is the sharing of the 4port card between
dom0 and domU :-(

Regards
  Stefan
