staulkor Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I was wondering, in VMware, does the OS that you are running detect the VMWare network card as a VM network card, or would it detect it, for example, a linksys card or something. sorry about the wording. hope you understand.

deleted123098 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 VMware emulates a network card that is not supported by OSx86. There is no driver for it yet. No, vmware does not use the same network card as the one in your computer, it only emulates one. Hope that helps - Joe Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/431-question-about-the-networking-of-vmware/#findComment-2662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn49 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 It emulates an AMD PC-NET PCI card, in case you were wondering. This is a standard card that is easy to find drivers for every operating system from DOS up through Windows XP, all the flavors of Unix, and probably OS/2 too.
