Re: [Qemu-devel] fedora 10 Kqemu and KVM pxe

[ignazio . cassano]

Now I am able to use gpxe under kvm with gpxe 0.9.3 e1000 0x1026 but to obtain
this I tried lots o network cards type and gpxe versions.
My question is:
How can I know what version of gpxe and what network card type must I use ?
For example: if I want to use a virtio card type, I know under  
/usr/share/kvm I must substitute the virtio rom file with a gpxe  
virtio rom but I don't know wich version of gpxe and wich  revision of  
the model type.
