RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-67
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Drivers and drivers' components are built now with Visual Studio. This is due to the change in Windows 8 DDK that had removed command line build tools from DDK. Old "source" files (similar to make files) where converted to Visual Studio projects. Automatic conversion set wrong calling convention for 32bit binaries of the netsh plugin that we are building and therefore it couldn't be registered with netsh and used. Consequence: All netsh plugin command line options where unusable on 32bit OSes. Fix: Change the calling convention. Result: netsh plugin is usable again. Please refer to readme.doc in the driver package directory for its usage.

Hi Min,
Could you please check how it works in build 62 and 64?
You don't need to install the drivers, just grab netkvmco.dll from
these builds and try running them.

Thank you.
Vadim.
