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. That makes me think I don't need to contact emulation@. I don't know if it's a net@ problem 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.
