[Bug 17334] New: Ethernet card emulator

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17334

Summary: Ethernet card emulator
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.12
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P1
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I have a Win app which needs a license to run. The license needs to verify the
mac-id of the machine on which it is installed. So, when I start the app, I get
the message - "No ethernet adapater is found on this machine". I know that the
app is correctly installed since it almost opens up, but gives this message and
then ends. Is there a way in Wine to 'trick' the app and pass a desired value
of the mac-id, so that the app can then run? All that the app needs is a
mac-id.

What application is this? Please test in 1.1.14 and attach standard error
output and a +relay,+seh,+tid log.

First one needs to figure out how the app fetches that info from the system.
Wine is not going to fake the hardware you are running it on.

I've seen this on DNAStar's Lasergene software. I've poked this a little, but
in the end had to fix this for a user quickly and resorted to a VM install, so
I didn't follow through.

Can you provide a +reg,+volume trace to see if this app is looking for the
network adapter the same way as Lasergene is?

Wine_message

This is the message I get when I start the app. I am a newbie to Wine and Linux
as well, so if this is not what you needed, please let me know. I will attach a
screen shot as well. Thank you.

You almost got the WINEDEBUG statement right. :)

Please run it like:

WINEDEBUG=+reg,+volume wine IntelliMask.exe 2> reg_trace.txt

to get the trace I asked for and

WINEDEBUG=+relay,+seh,+tid wine IntelliMask.exe 2> relay_trace.txt

to get the trace Andrew asked for. The +relay trace can get really big, the
other one should be much shorter.

I notice you're running as root:
[root@sslap IntelliMask]# WINEDEBUG=+relay,+seh,+tid,+reg,+volume
[root@sslap IntelliMask]# wine IntelliMask.exe

Please don't do that.  Run as an ordinary user instead, it will have no effect
on finding your ethernet adapter.

trace:reg:NtOpenKey (0x40,L"Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards",20019,0x33f51c)

Look like it's doing what Lasergene is doing. Fixing this is a bit fiddly.
IIRC, the registry key contains the MSDOS device name of the network card, and
wine's volume implementation doesn't accept that yet.

Okay. Does Crossover have this functionality by any chance? How about VMWare?

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.27 or newer) wine?

With today's git, the registry key still doesn't exist, so I'm going to say
it's still an issue.

The same problem occurred with PTC Wildfire 4.0 Setup,
It trys to access "Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards" .. and if i create the registry entries.
(Copied from my Windows version + Profile registry entries)

Then it wont show that it can't open the Registry-key, but it's still not able
to get a MAC-Address (HOST-ID). I tried to disassamble the setup-file but
wasn't able to find the function which it uses to get the HOST-ID..

I tried these functions from:
http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/i-n/network/networkinformation/article.php/c5451...

none of this funktion is used.. Is ther any other way to get the mac-address ?

Darn it, I think I have hit the same problem. I get the message out to the
console: "No adapter information exists for the local computer."

My application stops right there. I am running Ubuntu 9.10, WINE 1.1.35.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 1 year.
Is this still an issue in current (1.3.29 or newer) wine?

could you attach a +relay,+seh,+tid log, _after_ creating the registry entries?

Is this still an issue in current (1.7.6 or newer) wine? If so, please attach
the terminal output in 1.7.6 (see http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log).
