You need to run bhyve but replace the Windows ISO with the virtio-net driver ISO, which you can download off the Internet; Then install the network driver through VNC. The guest has a "virtio-net" interface which is created by bhyve - This has nothing to do with your motherboard and you do not need to install any of the motherboard or physical interface drivers in the guest.

That did it!!

Couple of issues.

RDP the rules might have changed, have to check.

Hyper-V will not install.

What gives?

If you've configured their IP addresses on the bhyve host then that's not really the correct way to configure things, even if it doesn't actually break anything; The IP address should be configured inside the guest OS.
