Network Adapter Options

In the current version of Parallels Workstation a RTL8029 (NE2000 compatible PCI card) network adapter is supported.

In a Linux guest OS, to be able to access an external network in the virtual machine, a ne2k-pci driver should be loaded into the Linux kernel. It is included by default, however if you are going to recompile the kernel remember to select the ne2k-pci component. In a FreeBSD guest OS you need to have the if_ed.ko module loaded.
