Default Interoperability update: Network Adapters -- intel PRO 1000 M vs. MT

Interoperability update...

GUEST Network Adapter types:
Code:
Intel PRO/1000 T Server (82543GC) /*seems to "just work" (no seg faults). */ 

Intel PRO/1000 MT Server (82545EM) /*emits sporadically "segment fault" errors.*/
My ASUS M3A78-EM HOST as real REALTEK RTL8168C(p)/8111C(P) family PCI-E GBE NICs.

When BRIDGING the above HOST adapter to the openBSD GUEST adapter, using the "MT" type guest adapter results in sporadic openBSD-level "seg faults." Using the "T" type guest adapter has been operating well.
