Description
Both Linux and Windows support paravirtualized (PV) network devices when running in Xen fully-virtualized domains (HVM).
HelenOS might need a Xen PV network device driver if we want to run it in a Xen hosting (e.g. Amazon E2C) and serve some web content (e.g. microkernel.info) to the public from it.
