Bug#600957: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: Please include vmw_pvscsi (VMware PVSCSI)
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-20
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
the summary pretty much says it all, please consider backporting the
vmw_pvscsi module from 2.6.33 mainline to get full access to the (faster)
paravirtualized VMware SCSI controller.
