ModEdit; related ticket: #18286: DOS-class VMs don't recognize PCnet-FAST III (6.0.0 regression)
I would like to report a possible bug of the new version 6.0 of VirtualBox.
Installing the DOS 6.22 or freeDOS 1.2 guest operating system and following various tutorials found on the net to add network support, I get this error when I start the system:
Packet driver is at segment 03EE
PCNTPK-DOS-015:Device not found.
Init: Could not access packet driver at INT 0x60
Could not initializa TCP/IP stack
I understand that the PCnet-FAST III Am97C973 network card emulated by VirtualBox is not recognized.
Reinstalling version 5.2.2 of VirtualBox, the card is re-recognized at system startup.
I hope the next update of version 6 solves the problem.
