@tjkreidl Not if I want to see what the stats were in the past!

RE: How can I see active (not cached/buffered) RAM usage?
@olivierlambert Thanks, that is what I'm using Sysstat for, to generate graphs. Will probably start using Zabbix sometime soon. Is there an ETA for the new agent?

How can I see active (not cached/buffered) RAM usage?
Related: XOA memory consumption.
I am wondering why XO only records/shows the cached RAM usage of VMs, and not their actual active RAM usage. I am currently having to use Sysstat in my VMs just to record and view these stats. Does the XO agent not record/obtain these stats at all?

RE: Realtek 8187 (RTL8187) driver
@fohdeesha Very interesting, thanks for the info! I did a double-take at the notion that wireless APs rely on the MAC address for authenticity... that's what the session key is for! But then I realised that the AP needs to be able to map IP/MAC address to session key for incoming packets, so it makes sense; we'd need one session per MAC address.
Welp, I guess it's cable-running time...
I do wonder, though: could the hypervisor act as the gateway for a subnet containing the guests, so that only the hypervisor is using the wireless connection? I don't know how challenging that would be to implement in XCP-ng, but I expect there'd be security implications, and one would still need a router that allows you to manually configure routes. Although I don't think I've ever come across a residential router/gateway that doesn't allow that, I haven't messed around with them, and I expect the ISP would just remotely reset custom routes after a restart, which would be a nuisance.

RE: Realtek 8187 (RTL8187) driver
@olivierlambert Just want to have all the VMs use the same connection as the hypervisor, same as I would with Ethernet. Any particular reason that bridging Wi-Fi isn't supported? I would've thought that the Wi-Fi interface showing up in dom0 under
ip link
is enough, as then after doingxe pif-scan
it would show up in XOA under New > Network > Interface dropdown, no?Didn't think of USB passthrough, but that would restrict only one VM to using the interface, correct?

Realtek 8187 (RTL8187) driver
Apparently the
rtl8187
kernel module which serves as a driver for the RTL8187/RTL8187B chipset is included in the EL7 kernel, but this is not the case in the XCP-ng 8.2 kernel (4.19.0+1), nor does a package seem to exist for this module. I would be grateful if this could be added, as I am trying to use a Netgear WG111v3 USB Wi-Fi dongle (vendor/device ID 0846:4260, RTL8187B chipset) for homelab purposes.
