| 8 | With Windows Vista, Microsoft dropped support for the AMD PCNet
|
|---|
| 9 | card that legacy versions of Oracle VM VirtualBox used to provide as
|
|---|
| 10 | the default virtual network card. For Windows Vista guests,
|
|---|
| 11 | Oracle VM VirtualBox now uses an Intel E1000 card by default.

| 14 | If, for some reason, you still want to use the AMD card, you
|
|---|
| 15 | need to download the PCNet driver from the AMD website. This
|
|---|
| 16 | driver is available for 32-bit Windows only. You can transfer it
|
|---|
| 17 | into the virtual machine using a shared folder. See
