Ubuntu 9.10 In Hyper-V

[zdunham]

Hi all.

I recently just installed Ubuntu 9.10 in a Hyper-V VM. I read all over the place that in order to get a network connection you need to set up the VM to use a legacy network adapter. I shutdown the VM and went to the settings and removed the regular network adapter and then went to add hardware and added a legacy adapter. I could still only choose the same network card though and I still have no network connection. Has anyone else attempted this before?

Hi zdunham,

I have written an article documenting simplified processes to get Ubuntu working with the enlightened drivers on Hyper-V.
