[Qemu-devel] Re: QEMU pcnet 6/28 patch against 6/30 CVS - not working?

[Antony T Curtis]

Hi,

This new patch works for me with Mandrake 10 Official

It should apply cleanly against QEMU CVS and hopefully compile cleanly
on Linux as well as FreeBSD. I have also implemented the TX-ring poll so
in theory, it should be fully functional.
