I already used a derivative of these directions... "cheated" and used the igb
driver like they did. Unlike them I automated the entire process, including
updating the base OS to latest kernel and recompiling against it, as well as
auto-enabling the NICs, the SSE instruction sets, etc. etc.
However their directions use an IGB NIC not a virtio-net NIC which would be
much better for performance and resource consumption. So I really would be
very very happy if we had a virtio-net which worked properly with both qemu
and VirtualBox.
Matthew.
