Hi,

Unfortunately, there are only a few actual drivers that can be included in the 
FDNET package. This greatly limits the usefulness of FDNET. 

However, the supplied drivers work well in VirtualBox and VWware. Although not 
tested, it should support some versions of QEMU.

There was a recent update to FDNET to help a little on machines that have a NIC 
not supported by the supplied drivers. Basically, it added a command line 
option to skip the supplied drivers and only try to initialize DHCP. That way 
the user can provide the correct driver and simply start DHCP to prevent 
running any conflicting supplied drivers.

It would be nice if it could provide support for more NICs. But, unfortunately 
it’s more or less limited to only including the ones it already has. If 
additional open source drivers are known, they might get included.
