Re: [Qemu-devel] ISA PnP support

[Fabrice Bellard <fabrice@bellard.org>]

Hi,

I am not really interested by ISA PnP as PCI will be the default config 
as soon as it works for NT. But I can still look at the patch.

If you implement another network controller, it would be good it Mac OS 
X/Darwin had drivers for it too.

If you implement it to have a faster network, I think this is a waste of 
time. IMHO, the bottleneck is not yet in the network controller itself, 
but in the QEMU network layer.
