Hi,
I'm running FreeBSD 9.1 RC1/AMD64 with VirtualBox. The problem I'm
facing is that I can't use more than 8 network adapters plugged to the
virtual machine.
Recent VirtualBox releases (since the 4.2RC1) allow, with the ICH9
chipset, to plug more than 8 network adapters. It doesn't matter what
type of network adapter I use, FreeBSD seems not to see more than 8.
I tried the same configuration (virtual machine with ICH9 chipset
and ten network adapters) with a Linux distribution (ubuntu). Linux
seems to see all the network adapters. Thus I would say it is not an
emulation@ problem, but maybe anyone in the list knows about this problem.
I don't know if it's a net@ problem (already send it there too, I'm
waiting for some answers) or maybe it is a problem with the emulated
PCI-bridge and then stable@ should be contacted. Also, I'm not sure if a
real machine would support more than 8 network adapters or not. Any
hints would be appreciated.
Best,
Gustau
