This should result in "New hardware found" messages and the installation of different virtual drivers. Intel NIC Vendor ID, Device ID, and description string: • Physical - 8086 / 104A "Intel 82566DM Gigabit Network Connection" • Virtualized - 8086 / 10B7 "Intel Pro/1000 vVE Network Connection" This causes redirection of user networking I/O to the virtual partition, which can impact network traffic performance. Third party appliances that inspect network packets will impact this further. 8
