That'll be great - I did test a CentOS box domU a while ago, and that=20 didn't have the problem with routing traffic, I wasn't able to test things=20 like OpenVPN/DCHP on it - but the current netfront issues are annoying=20 [there's at least 2 FreeBSD PR's I know of this would also address]. > In the meantime, I have the following crappy patch to FreeBSD if_re > driver, which should disable the watchdog (I have not even compile > tested this). Thanks - I'll give that a go... I also discovered that the 'virtio'=20 virtual NIC's - *do* migrate OK, I'm just setting up a test platform using=20 those to see if they have the same netfront issues as PV xn interfaces=20 (i.e. can't route / openvpn fails). I'll post back with the results of that + the patch when I have them, Thanks, -Kp
