Good morning, dev team -- I've been troubleshooting slow SSH connection times (lots of lag between the management node and VMs running Cygwin, slow provisioning). I found that my XP 32-bit VMs were using the VMWare default network adapter. I'd specified the E1000 when creating the original image per the docs, but of course VCL only brings over the VMDK and the generic VMWare adapter is assigned when the VM boots via VCL.
Waiting for XP to "find new hardware" is definitely contributing to my slow startup times, but since I'll eventually have a variety of 32- and 64-bit Windows and Linux guest OSs in VCL I thought I would ask which network adapters should be assigned to which operating systems. I read a passing mention in the listserv archive that VCL assigned different adapters to different architectures [1].
