Network Interface Cards

VMware virtualizes two Network Interface Cards (NICs) from the hardware world:
1. The vlance adapter (a virtualized AMD 79C970 PCnet32 adapter)
2. The e1000 adapter (a virtualized Intel e1000 adapter)

The remaining vNICs VMware offers are built from the ground up, including the VMXNET3, the third generation of paravirtualized NIC adapter from VMware.
