 In some situations, that is common... And everytime you plug an
USBEthernet dongle into one, you've added the equivalent of an additional
NIC.

 The network connections list on my Win10 box currently shows

Ethernet (Realteck PCIe GBE controller)
Ethernet 6 (VirtualBox Host Only Ethernet)
Ethernet 7 (ASIX AX88772 USB2.0 to Fast Ethernet [the SIIG dongle])
vEthernet (Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter)
Wi-Fi (Intel Centrino Wireless...)

 The problem with all those is that activating Wi-Fi overrides the
Ethernet, but the others are active. As far as Windows is concerned there
are FIVE NICs on this machine.
