Naah, Linux ain't suited for this kind of tricks, simply because it's too
bloated. What you need is a simple, preferrably microkernel-oriented,
operating system that can be extended easily.
In fact, what you might want to look at is ZealOS (no, I am in no way
affiliated to them; in fact, I'd rather recommend my own microkernel, but
it's not finished yet) at http://zealos.sourceforge.net/, though I don't
know if it has a TCP/IP stack yet.

Why? Just make shure both OSes expect the same PCI programming..
