+<p>It is not possible to simply attach any of the supported NICs into any
+of the supported emulated machines. Some machines, for example, have a 
+specific NIC in them, others may have a PCI bus where a PCI NIC can be 
+used. This is very much machine-dependent.

+I would recommend trying out an ftp install of <a
