Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 0/9] VMXNET3 paravirtual NIC device implementation

[Gerhard Wiesinger <lists@wiesinger.com>]

Hello,

I'm still having problems with v4 patch: ping works well, even with 
large packet sizes but ssh doesn't work at all.
Tested with Knoppix 6.7 and Fedora 16.

Thnx.

Ciao,
Gerhard
