Hi Lionel
Yup. The NIC that you are going to use in DOSEMU *must* be exclusively
dedicted for DOSEMU. The driver you are loading is a DOS driver, which
would have been written with DOS in mind, thus having all powers to
directly access the hw. So you cannot have a single card with both Linux &
DOS drivers loaded at the same time :(. You'd most likely freeze your
system (may be when you try to do a ping or so !)
