     virtual switch (vsw) device or virtual network (vnet) device in another
     logical domain using a logical domain channel provided by the hypervisor.

     The vnet driver supports version 1.0 of the vNet protocol.

     The vnet driver supports the following media types:

     autoselect  Enable autoselection of the media type and options.  The
                 driver always uses the fastest available speed and the media

                 chine.
