Independent from the disk issues, network support will be
one of the key features to support in plex86.  Networking
would be a good area to have a special OS specific driver
for efficiency.  There is also some NE2K emulation coded
by a bochs developer, that I moved over to plex86.  There
needs to be a Linux port of the low level code, since
it was coded for BSD.

Networking is a good way to get instant access to services like
printing or filesystems on the local machine without having any
other special emulation code for plex86.
