hi,
does anyone have a mini-os or similar with a working network driver? I
am in the process of porting my 'mstrap' minimal boot strapper up from
Xen 1.3, and was basing my network driver on netfront.c from Linux.
Unfortunately the ctrl-interface stuff is pretty hairy and very
Linux-specific.
thanks,
Jacob

We're in the process of moving away from the current control message
stuff and toward a scheme based on a registry (c/f discussions about
local store/xenbus etc on the list).
It might be worth your while waiting for this - I'm not quite sure
what the timescale is, but both Rusty + Mike are actively working
on it as far as I know.
cheers,
S.

OK I will wait a bit and see what happens.
