Hi Roger,

I'd love to try that - but as we're running full 'XenServer' (i.e.=20
installed from XenServer .ISO) I have no idea where (or even if it's=20
possible) to set that :(

Last time I tried looking it up I hit a bit of a dead end, I'll have=20
another look [in fact, I think it may have actually been impossible to set=20
in XenServer as I seem to remember someone saying that XenServer doesn't=20
have that NIC model/emulation available, only Realtek or PV!]

But I'll have another look...

-Karl
