for general information on how to get bridging to work.

- Random number generation. Using the --rng option will provide a
/dev/hwrng in the guest that will read from the host's /dev/random.
Use this option in conjunction with rng-tools (see ../hw_random.txt)
to provide entropy to the guest kernel's /dev/random.

There is a helpful mailing list at http://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/lguest

Good luck!
