4.3. Configuring NetKVM driver parameters
After the NetKVM driver is installed, you can configure it to better suit your environment. You can configure the driver parameters by using the Windows Device Manager (devmgmt.msc).
Modifying the driver’s parameters causes Windows to reload that driver. This interrupts existing network activity.
Prerequisites
The NetKVM driver is installed on the virtual machine.
For more information, see Installing KVM paravirtualized drivers for Windows virtual machines.
