Re: [Xen-users] MAC Address for GPL PV network card

["Nemeth, Tamas" <nice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tested several versions gplvp today on xen 3.2.1 and xen 3.3.0, with
w2k3 and windows xp, but I experienced BSODs constantly in everi
scenario. I don't want to use it anymore, I only miss the shutdown
feature. I haven't ever tried stubdom.

Tamas
