[okl4-developer] networking on gumstix

[Ashish Bijlani]

does that mean there is no virtualization support for networking in
okl4? in tools/release_notes I could see "vnet", what's the status of
vnet in current release of okl4?

also, i change the l4linux_config_gumstix to include SMC91X, however
upon booting wombat doesn't load the network driver. Am I missing
anything? I'm taking about single instance of wombat here.

please help.

thanks,
ashish
