I closed this since we cannot know what vmware does since it is non-free.  If this can be reproduced in qemu then we can repoen it.

Subject: gnumach detects VMware's ethernet card twice
Date: Mon, 8 Nov 1999 13:39:56 +0000 (GMT)

Package: gnumach
Version: 1:1.2-2

Starting up gnumach under VMware 1.1 build-317, I see (transcribed by
hand):
--------8<--------
  The PCI BIOS has not enabled the AMD Ethernet device at  0-80.  Updating PCI command 0001->0005.
eth0: PCnet/PCI II 79C970A at 0x1000, 00 50 56 81 0b 4e
pcnet32.c:v0.99B 4/4/98 DJBecker/TSBogend.
-------->8--------
and later...
--------8<--------
Found PCnet/PCI at 0x1000, irq 9.
eth1: PCnet/PCI-II 79C970A at 0x1000, 00 50 56 81 0b 4e assigned IRQ 9, no DMA needed.
lance.c:v1.14 2/3/1998 dplatt@3do.com, -email is unavailable-
-------->8--------

This looks as if the (virtual) ethernet card is being detected twice.  I
haven't got the HURD to start up yet, so I don't know whether either
instance will actually work, but there should presumably only be one of
them.
