Minix3 networking on Hyper-V

[Ariel Kirsman]

Hi all, has anyone managed to make networkking work on Minix3 virtualized in Hyper-V?

Minix installed fine, but when running netconf, I'm not sure which one to choose, and there's no NIC explicitly saying it's virtualized by Hyper-V.

Thanks!

Yes; although it was years ago, not recent releases.

Hyper-V (gen1, obviously) exposes a "DEC Tulip" adapter, corresponding
to dec21140A driver in MINIX3; same as Virtual PC, and of course this is
not coincidental.

Perhaps you should check lspci and the various configuration knobs to
verify they are in agreement, particularly about VID:PID.

Googling about the subject also returns many comments about correctly
configuring Hyper-V virtual machines.
