Subject: de0 and ifconfig on Virtual PC

I'm using the Virtual PC #1 kernel

if I do a "ifconfig -a" the device "de0" is not listed.

# ifconfig -a                                                         
lo0: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> mtu 32976                      
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000                             
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500                      
ppp1: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500                      
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 296                  
sl1: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 296                  
tun0: flags=10<POINTOPOINT> mtu 1500                                  
tun1: flags=10<POINTOPOINT> mtu 1500                                  


So when I try to do the command in the web-based documentation at 
cs.mu.OZ.AU I get:
# ifconfig de0 inet 192.43.207.21 netmask 255.255.255.0 media utp up
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS de0: Device not configured     


What can I do to configure de0?

I'd like to be able to telnet from "NiftyTelnet" under MacOS to NetBSD 
under Virtual PC.  Likewise use NetScape under MacOS to connect to a 
webserver on NetBSD under Virtual PC.

Thanks :-)
