VirtualBox gives you the chance to have 5 different network cards; other virtualizers probably similar. how does detecting VirtualBox help you decide to use which adapter is present? as said before, PCI detection is used by everybody else, and should also be good enough for you Tom _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
