  • 1.  Vmware NIC drivers Question

    Posted Mar 28, 2008 02:21 PM

    Hi all,

    We have been virtualizing some physical servers. Some VM's nic cards show up as "VMware Accelarated AMD PCnet Adapter" and Some VM's show as "AMD PCnet Family PCI ethernet adapter" after virtualizing.

    What is the difference between the two NIC card and which one is better.

    Thanks

    The advanced nic gives you more advanced configuring settings. Example - Duplex.

    IMHO Intel E1000 is best for most scenarios - see http://sanbarrow.com/vmx/vmx-network.html
