In what way?  It has worked pretty well for me.  I generally use NAT 
unless PXE-booting a VM, then use bridged networking.  The PCnet-PCI II 
(Am79C970A) works for either, the Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM) 
also works well but I think I added the adapter PXE code because it was 
not included.  There are instructions for this somewhere, but it's not 
really needed because the first adapter can be used.
