Network Driver for Windows Vista Guest OS
Where can I download a network driver for my Windows Vista (32-bit) Guest OS? On my Windows XP guest, the network adapter shows up as AMD PCNET Family PCI Ethernet Adapter in the Device Manager. A search for this did not bring up any Vista drivers (or I completely missed them). Surely someone else has got this working. Thanks.

See Chapter 4.2.1.5. Windows Vista networking in your VirtualBox users manual.
Note: You should be using the IntelPRO 1000 MT adapter with Vista.

And the default profile setting for Vista should already have it on one of the Intel adapters, one that works.
