I started to port the NetBSD virtio driver, but didn't make it very far. 
However, I did verify that the NetBSD virtio driver works – I tested a 
NetBSD 5.0.2 guest on virtualbox with virtio-net.

I contacted Minoura and the NetBSD virtio driver has been updated. The 
new version at http://www.minoura.org/~minoura/virtio-100605/ , if you 
want to use that as a reference....

I am very interested in tracking virtio driver development. Would it be 
possible to host your project on gitourious or something similar?

Thanks and good luck,
Tim
