Not sure what kind of pains or issues you see.
I've been writing code that deals with network interfaces for many years, and on Unix it usually just works and is very simple, while on Windows machines, it's a pain in the butt, if it works at all.

And I've used the same code on both Linux, OpenBSD and NetBSD, and it works the same on all of them.

Also been running simh on both OSX and Linux with no problems with the networks at all, for many years.

So in a way I'm very curious what kind of problems you experience, and in which way you find Windows works better for you, and in another way I just feel like pointing out that at least I do not share your experience at all.

Well at least you are running bare metal. Trying to to run in
promiscuous mode with *nix as a host is a pain.

    Turns out I incorrectly configured NIC failover in my ESX config ;)

    I'm doing FreeBSD in ESX.

    What is your guest OS? I have learned that for running
    emulator-on-vm, Windows XP works best. The worst is NetBSD and the
    kicker is that it is the only modern OS that runs TME easily.
