[Xen-users] pciback/front in Fedora 10 domU: should this work?

[John Morris <john@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd hoped to play with the new wireless architecture in recent kernels, 
and so have (successfully) jumped through all sorts of hoops to get a 
F-10 domU running on a CentOS 5.2 dom0.  However, there's some trouble 
getting the PCI wireless card passed into the domU.
The wireless device is bound to the dom0's pciback driver correctly, and 
the 'pci' option is set in the domU's xen config in the same manner as 
the other CentOS domU guests in the box that have PCI devices assigned 
to them.  In fact, the same card can be passed to another CentOS domU 
and be seen with lspci.  However, lspci in the Fedora 10 domU returns 
nothing at all.
Is pcifront perhaps disabled in the stock Fedora 10 kernel?  What can I 
check to get more information?
Back to the original goal, is anyone aware of a quick way to get a domU 
up and running with a >=2.6.25 kernel (with the new wireless 
architecture) that has pcifront functionality?
Thanks-

        John
