VhostNET

Hello,

does exist any plan to add new type of network interface / model to Cloudmin configuration based on VhostNET from RedHat? I test it and it provides better latency (10% less than e1000 on my system) and greater throughput (8x the normal virtio) in real. It is realy easy to configure by command, but I can not use Cloudmin to do it, neither configuration file in /etc/webmin/servers. Because it define network by others parameters and Cloudmin config is not designed to this usage.

PS: Ubuntu need to load module first, but it;s simple change in Cloudmin install script: root:~# modprobe vhost_net root:~# lsmod | grep vhost vhost_net 27606 0 root:~# echo vhost_net >> /etc/modules
