Hopefully if someone else has a different experience they will speak
up, but I've not personally heard of any cards working reliably in a
PCI passthrough mode. This could e a problem if you intende the KVM
guest to handle all the card communication.

You could get an analog gateway, or setup another small system to
host any cards you get to act as a gateway, and keep most of your
logic on the KVM.

Cheers,
Shaun
