I actually do need more than the Ethernet card, but that is what started me on this trail. The PCI thing can work for some things _IF_ the VM even virtualizes a PCI BIOS (some do and some don't). There are also some VMs (like VMWare) that have their own versions of almost everything so you may not even find a "recognized" NIC in the PCI space. So, your program may work in specific cases but would not be a general-purpose solution. I also recognize my setup and what I'm trying to accomplish is pretty unusual. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
