Hyper-V Discrete Device Assignment (DDA) was developed for attaching (passing through) video adapters into virtual machines. This feature exists on other hypervisors (for example VMDirectPath I/O passthrough on VMware ESXi) for a long time and it is used to virtualize applications that can leverage GPU hardware. Such applications are used for example for scientific calculations or for video encoding.

I tested DDA on network adapters. On Windows Server Technology Preview 5 I attached three network adapters (two wireless and one wired) into Windows 10 Enterprise Update 1511. As you can see on screenshot all interfaces are functional.

If you want to try the same thing, then you can use my code. Just change VM name and InstanceId that you can find in Device Manager (devmgm.msc) or using cmdlet Get-PnpDevice.

Please read verbose stream to understand what steps you need to make.
