vioVirtIO network device

vio* at virtio? flags 0x00

The vio driver provides support for the virtio(4) network interface provided by bhyve, KVM, QEMU, and VirtualBox.

Setting flags to 0x02 disables the RingEventIndex feature. This can be tried as a workaround for possible bugs in host implementations or vio at the cost of slightly reduced performance.

The vio driver first appeared in OpenBSD 5.3.

The vio driver was ported to OpenBSD and improved by Stefan Fritsch <sf@sfritsch.de>. It is based on the NetBSD vioif driver by Minoura Makoto.
