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

It isn't possible without some hacking.
