[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#492228: Please support virtio network interfaces

[Guido Trotter]

Package: libvirt
Version: 0.4.2-6
Severity: normal

Hi,

Could you please allow virtio network interfaces to be created by
libvirt. Ubuntu has this in hardy, the source package is 0.4.0-2ubuntu8
and it's done using a patch called nic-model.patch. It might be really
useful if such a patch made it upstream as well.

Thanks,

Guido
