[kvm-devel] [ANNOUNCE] kvm-guest-drivers-windows-2

[Avi K. <av...@qu...>]

This is the second release of network drivers for Windows guests running
on a kvm host.  The drivers are intended for Windows 2000 and Windows 
XP, and Windows 2003.  Both x86 and x64 variants are provided.  kvm-61 
or later is needed in the host.  At the moment only binaries are available.

The drivers are available from the download page of the kvm website, below.

To use, download the drivers into the guest (using one of the emulated
network cards), and unpack the package. Reboot with '-net
nic,model=virtio' instead of the usual setting, and when Windows prompts
you for a driver location, select the appropriate directory in the
package (Windows XP or Windows 2000).

Changes from kvm-guest-drivers-windows-1:
- smp support (Yan Vugenfirer)
- x64 support (Yan Vugenfirer)
- prepare for open-sourcing  (Yan Vugenfirer)

Note: Windows 2003 is supported using the Windows XP drivers.
