It would help a lot to describe what is the Napatech NIC Driver Suite,
and why it is a virtual driver.
What is the hardware it runs on? Where can we get it?
Where can we download the Driver Suite?

So the Driver Suite is just a library to help implementing the driver
for the Napatech NIC?
Thanks for explaining your solution
