I finally purchased a PCIe NIC to pass through to a Win7 VM after nothing bu problem trying to get PCI NICs to pass through, I got it working  over the weekend YA!!!!!! and with storms coming last night decided it was a good time to upgrade to 6.0.1 and power down the server , in order to potentially avoid a 12+ hour parity check due to not having a UPS yet ... on booting up this morning the NIC is missing form the VM thins morning and in digging around the required lines to add the NIC in the XML are gone!  The NIC was working 100% find yesterday  all day until the upgrade to 6.0.1 and following reboot.... I will try adding in the required lines again and later try rebooting again to see what happens but this seems odd.

Definitely odd behavior.  The good news is that if it's just missing from the XML itself, that means that you don't have a hardware issue, but rather, you've found a bug!  We can fix that!  I'm assuming when you readd the required lines and start the VM, it works fine, yes?  If so, please attach a diagnostics report from the Tools -> Diagnostics page so we can review and see if something is amiss.
