Network adapters in Virtualbox virtual machines
When setting up a virtual machine with Virtualbox, in the Network configuration section it is possible to select from various emulated adapters:
The default one, automatically selected at the VM creation, is Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop.
I was wondering what are the differences between these adapters in the virtualization context, and when it is advisable to use one of them instead of the others.
I'm also curious if different guest systems have some preference to one of them over the others. I.e., if a Linux guest has a preference, let's say, for the Intel MT and a Windows one for a PCnet Fast, and so on. Of course, these are just random examples.
