honestly... it's a "why not?" project. Plus, it will give me hands-on experience with working at the hyper-visor level.
I don't expect to get great performance out of it, although, I'm curious to see what I do get. LOL
I just need to get the wifi recognized and configured first. Is build-from-scratch the answer?
I have recently found myself with too much spare time on my hands (in between jobs at the moment), so I decided it was finally time to experiment with configuring an XCP-ng hypervisor on this spare laptop that I have.
It's a Lenovo T490s (Core I7, 16B RAM) with an Intel Wireless-AC 9560 wifi controller. The install boot image doesn't appear to recognize the controller, though.
I know, using wifi for a hypervisor's main network connection is not the most efficient, but how else am I going to experiment while binging old TV shows on my couch. LOL
Anyhow, can anyone point me to the best way to get this working? Do I need to build the kernel and/or install media from scratch? I can do that, but if there's an easier way, I'd rather start there.
thanks,
