Hi all, I executed a complete test to identify the problem.<div>Firstly I need to exaplain what I am doing.</div><div><br></div><div>I created a windows xp guest with sp3 , virtio net and spice agent.</div><div>I used virtio-win-0.1-59.iso and spice-guest-tools-0.59.</div>
<div>This is a base image for all other vm xp .</div><div>The base image works fine.</div><div>I used sysprep on the base image and then I created another xp guest on a qcow2 disk which uses the base image.</div><div>When the new guest starts it does not get the network card because it asks for drivers.</div>
<div>Confirming the virtio drivers automatic installation (because drivers are present in the base image) and rebooting the guest, </div><div>it can see the virtio network card but it takes a lot of cpu and it cannot be used.</div>

Oh, I am sorry. I must wait a lot for looking information you requested, because when I boot with virtio net enabled the xp vm takes a long time to log on and cpu usage is very very high.<div>When I'll have information you requested I'll send you.</div>

Yan meant driver details on the *guest*:<div><br>
Device Manager -> NetKVM device -> Properties<br></div>
In the Driver tab see the driver version.<br>
In the Advanced tab you see driver params.<div><div><br>

Do you have UsePublishEvents
enabled or disabled? If it's on
you can try turning it off.<br>
In any case it's better to wait
Yan or Dmitry to comment on this

Subject: Re: virtio-net
windows drivers<br>
<br>
Hi, I think the virtio net
driver is released with
spice-guest-tool ...<br>
Is it correct ?<br>
In other words ....<br>
I installed virtio net and
virtio disk drivers
contained in<br>
virtio-win-0.1-59.iso
downloaded from fedora.<br>
Then I installed
spice-guest-tools-0.59.exe
downloaded from <a href="http://spice-space.org/" target="_blank">spice-space.org</a>.<br>
Seems spice.-guest-tools
have their own net driver
....or not ?<br>
<br>
