[Simh] SIMH with ethernet - uses wrong adapter

[Milton M. Baar]

Hi All

Using SIMH compiled with ethernet support, running on a server that has
a number of ethernet devices - two real and two from Vmware.  WinDump
reports them as:

C:\Utilities>windump -D
1.\Device\NPF_{AE1AE933-F19B-407A-B61E-BCE8C1312E74} (Broadcom NetXtreme
Gigabit Ethernet Driver)
2.\Device\NPF_{B7E311C4-A4EE-4D0E-858D-7AA7C970175C} (VMware Virtual
Ethernet Adapter)
3.\Device\NPF_{B32CD30A-C33B-4853-8062-9217FC003FBA} (VMware Virtual
Ethernet Adapter)
4.\Device\NPF_{B40AEF17-1F50-490C-91DF-1B37795C802B} (Broadcom NetXtreme
Gigabit Ethernet Driver)

Vax.ini attaches to the "real" mac address of device 4, as device 1 has
no ethernet cable attached.

;
; Attach Ethernet to a network interface
set xq mac=00-00-1a-19-3c-45
attach xq eth1

I have tried this with Winpcap v3 and the new beta 4.  When SIMH boots,
it shows that the ethernet connection has "attached" to
\Device\NPF_{B7E311C4-A4EE-4D0E-858D-7AA7C970175C}, every time - this is
the Vmware adapter.  I have tried using the default "dummy" mac address
supplied with vax.ini, but that didn't work either.

Any suggestions how I can force it to attach to the device I want ONLY?
