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. Fabrice.
