Hello All,

Just to add to my previous question, I am planning to make changes to netfront and netback drivers and hence needed clarification on that.

In addition, I had another question on interfaces a.k.a "vif" created when domU's are installed, I am unable to figure out which part of Xen code is involved in this. Any pointers will be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Hello all,

I am trying to understand when and how netback and netfront drivers gets instantiated and does netfront exist in domU's?

I do see the drivers available in following directory in dom0 but nothing in domU...

 $ pwd
/lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.6.el5.xs5.5.0.496.1012xen/kernel/drivers/xen

$ ls
pciback  scsiback  scsifront  sfc_netback  sfc_netfront  sfc_netutil  tpmback

However, I do not see the drivers listed when "lsmod" is executed on dom0 or domU.

Inputs appreciated.

Thanks
-RK
