Subject: faking vendor-id to guest for driver-install-triggering?
Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2011 15:15:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DB816EB.2070405@mglug.de> (raw)
Hi there,
is it possible to announce the kvm-guest (i.e. winxp) some arbitrary
vendor-id's in a way, that the win-client starts to install the driver
for this "card"?
I.e. the RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Card has the
vendor-id 10ec:8168 (taken from lspci -nn), so if i give this ID to the
kvm-guest, he should install the driver for this card.
Tfh!
Oliver
