Description
On my Lenovo ThinkPad T510, using e1000e-0.2.2.zip, Virtual PC 5.1, running WinXP and using Virtual Switch, cannot get a DHCP address. Then, trying to close VPC causes a system hang. This works better (I get an address, and I can access the internet, and my home LAN) using e1000e-0.1.8.zip, but it still hangs when I close WinXP. 
NAT works, but sees a duplicate name on the network, for some reason. I can access the internet, and I can shut down WinXP.

I added promiscuous mode to this driver. It will be in the next release.

VSWITCH requires promiscuous mode and promiscuous mode is not implemented in this driver. When I get some time I'll look into adding this feature.
