Ability to set virt NIC model

Open jantman opened this issue 11 years ago • 1 comments

We've got a bunch of VMs running under kvm/libvirt with CentOS 5.5 guest OS that drop packets using the default realtek driver, but work fine using virtio. Right now this is a manual libvirt change after cobbler/koan install.

It would be great if this setting (it's the element in the section of the libvirt XML) was exposed via koan and cobbler, so it could be set correctly at install time instead of a manual hack.

I haven't tested it yet, but it looks like in current master, koan does respect a --qemu-net-type argument at the command line. So assuming that's true (which I need to test...) it looks like all that's needed is for cobbler to have a field for this data, and expose it to koan.
