I started to port the NetBSD virtio driver, but didn't make it very far.
However, I did verify that the NetBSD virtio driver works 阠I tested a
NetBSD 5.0.2 guest on virtualbox with virtio-net.
I contacted Minoura and the NetBSD virtio driver has been updated. The
new version at http://www.minoura.org/~minoura/virtio-100605/ , if you
want to use that as a reference....
I am very interested in tracking virtio driver development. Would it be
possible to host your project on gitourious or something similar?
Thanks and good luck,
Tim
