Summary: virtio_net not working

Initial Comment:
After many posts elsewhere - and no single reaction - I try this forum.

I use SuSE 11.0 and 11.1 with the latest kernel (.28.2) and before in both host and the guest. I use the KVM83 package because using Qemu svn produces kvm related errors.

After installing an image using '-net nic,model=e1000....' I changed the previous model to 'virtio'. After a restart, I do get a IP address assigned but also partial csum errors upon initialization.
After I logged in, ifconfig shows fine data, but I am unable to get any IP traffic with anything but itself.

Can anybody shed some light on it? Not being able to use virtio_net is a real show stopper for me.

Thanks, frans.
