I don't know. At any case we are need provide the same API as linux
vmnet provide, so we are need to implement it in the kernel module.
But bochs use user level implementation.

At this time I found the next message (it was posted more than 3 years
ago at the freebsd-hackers mailing list):
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=661424+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/1996/freebsd-hackers/19961020.freebsd-hackers
It's a very long URL but I hope that it's possible to retrieve it. At least
you can search via its subject: Networking in PCEMU (1/2)
I don't study this code, but it looking not so bad.

Yes. I looking to this project, named as freemware. Their URL:
http://www.freemware.org/
But this code very experimental. And to develop such kind of software
are need to have steal nerves. I fill that, at the time when I was porting
vmware. I have too much hours of very interested work - load driver, launch
vmware and then looking into the DDB double fault screen. Reload box,
and then again.
