s1deout Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I was hoping someone could tell me whether this is possible or not. I have installed a NIC on my hackintosh (in addition to the onboard NIC) and would like to use it strictly for my Windows XP PRO virtual machine (VMware Fusion). I am assuming that I would have to find the correct drivers so that MAC OS recognizes the card to pass it through to the VM. Has anyone else tried this?? Thanks!

macgirl Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 It can't be done, unless is an USB or PCMCIA. PCI devices can't pass to VMs Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/90529-additional-network-card-on-leopard-hackintosh/#findComment-650755 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinghed Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 hello... I may not be understanding the question but I have a network card out of an xserve in my hacked mac as well as an onboard ethernet socket. I only use the pci network card as my onboard one won't play. I had installed parallels recently and it did work fine through an xp virtual machine. I was able to connect to other pc's/macs on the network and browse... If you look at the settings, you should be able to define which card you can use... Now I do know that you can use 2 network cards on 1 mac but I don't know if they can both be connected to the same physical network at the same time.... - that probably didn't help at all.... - Rick - Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/90529-additional-network-card-on-leopard-hackintosh/#findComment-651414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
