Hello Stefan Yes, we tested this device with various guests (both Linux and Windows) and it also passed WHQL tests for Windows Server 2008 R2 OS. The issue is Anthony asked us to write a basic test for the device (a packet transmission test) and we are trying to get some reference code or documentation to do this.
Anthony, Paolo, please, advise.
