I had set up a VPS with FreeBSD10 on a Linux KVM. The host company's options were to use an Intel Pro/1000 network card or Virtio for the network card (and the drive card for that matter). On their site, I was led to believe I should select the Intel card for networking so I stayed with the default IDE interface for the drive cause I didn't have the knowledge to make the determination at the time.
Now I have the time to look into this. Is there a reason I want to switch over to the Virtio interface now? It's only a matter of selecting it from a drop down box in the host's control panel but I don't know if I need to config or install anything on the FreeBSD side other than, I presume, rebooting.
