	I don't think it'll work. I just looked it up, and the virtual ethernet card is an emulated RTL8029, and we are only supporting (now) the AMD Lance PCNet-32 cards (as supported by vmware).

	RTL8029 is the same card supported by qemu.

	I'm now working on the driver for RTL8139 (the 100MBits version of the RTL8029), however, the hardware is not compatible, so we'll need a different implementation. May be next? not sure, it's not too complicated... may be the first Device collaborated by someone else? :-)

	I just looked up what VirtualPC emulates, and it's a DEC 21140 adapter... I'm not sure how easy this one is.

	oh well... sorry about the lack of devices supported... we'll try to solve the problem with time :-)
