ah, ok. You've already licensed with the PCNETII interface, so I'd stick with that. As well, you found something quirky - if you load the kernel module, Linux will take over all the virtio nics on the box. Really, you just want it to takeover the one, for the mgmt port. TMM has it's own drivers for virtio, and if the Linux kernel has sucked those in, tmm won't be able to do much with them. (specify virtio module only for one nic, or use the PCNETII interface as you had been for the mgmt with the same MAC as before)
