No, I just got an answer on the Citrix mail list, and in full
virtualization the host will always be presented with a Realtek
interface. One way to change that would be trying open source Xen, and
that would require changes to the source code. Other way would be going
to paravirtualization. I´m not sure about the viability of that, but
will investigate.
The main problem is that i´m not sure that the interface emulation is
really the problem. Is there any way to verify that?
Tks,
Roberto
