Hi!

The Wiki documentation sounds like it would/should be possible to get a plain PCI device passed into a VE. The device is not really a network device/network card, so it's not not just a network driver.

My - simple? - question is: how to do this (with vzctl)?

The device to be exported:
(lspci -s 01:09.0 -v -v):

Related to this (primary) question: How to access the device from inside the VE/VPS? Loading modules?

Thanks for any hints!

P.S. All the above is running on amd64/4core machines
