Thanks, that helped alot. But now i have another issue...
My <interface> section now looks like that:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='00:16:3e:04:a0:5f'/>
<source bridge='br0'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
</interface>
I log into win box using virt-manager console and start installing driver
for network card. And guest hangs. No errors, nothing. Just hangs completely
during copying driver files. Any ideas?

Hello everyone,
i just recently installed KVM(on Ubuntu 8.04) and virt-manager was of
great help when i had to deploy few Win 2003 guests. The only problem i
have now is networking. I use bridged network and its fine xept one
thing - its 100 mbit. What i need is 1 Gbs link(my network card allows
that). Seems to fully utilise nw card i need to install virtio network
device, then drivers for it from Windows and be a happy. I found this
how-to
http://www.linux-kvm.com/content/tip-how-setup-windows-guest-paravirtual-network-drivers ,
but i dont understand how to make virtio device available for guest if i
dont start machine manually via command line, but want to incorporate it
into xml.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Ruben
virt-manager doesn't yet support adding a virtio nic to
an existing guest, but we will soon. You'll have to make
the changes via the command line.
What you will want to do is:
- stop your vm
- virsh dumpxml YOURVM > xml
- edit xml, and add:
<model type='virtio'/>
to the <interface> block.
- virsh define xml
- start the vm
Thanks,
Cole
