If we disable network support completely then the appliance will have no network, which will negatively impact things like virt-v2v and anyone trying to run any network-aware commands. On the other hand, it's desirable to disable network support for most operations because of the speed up that is possible. Also it's possible that qemu will be configured with no user-networking (slirp) at all. We'll need to have some sort of flag to enable/disable/detect this, and treat network support as a separable feature. At the moment I don't know exactly how this will work. I don't understand this bit. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
