Re: [Xen-users] Q: best practice isdn pci card

[Christo Buschek <crito@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Stephan.

I use a digium b410p isdn card inside a domU as a dedicated device. I
use pciback.hide statement in grub and export the card to the domU where
I need the isdn card. That works good so far and makes it easier to
manage the specific domU. If you need the isdn card in more then one
domain you could also manage it within a domU and use an internal
network to connect to the daemon (dummy nic in dom and bridge it to
other domU as an internal network ala 10.1.1.0/24). I try not to run any
daemon inside dom0).
