    It seems to be weird behavior... I'll try to contact the proper person and ask what's going on

    I've raised a ticket about this. Having cloned my system disk prior to upgrading PD5 to PD6, I find it deleted PD5 from the clone copy, making recovery to previous state impossible.

    Not impossible, just boot the clone and reinstall Parallels Desktop 5 to the clone.

    I've talked with mate from team responsible for installer.. it is turned out, that this behavior was refactored recently. It is really so - the PD-installer while uninstall/upgrade searched parallels-files on all mounted disks and removed them. It was done because some users move ParallelsDesktop.app from /Application to say Desktop. And we had complains to support about this.. so, in attempt to fix this it was made so.

    In the future updates the behavior should change: uninstall/upgrade will search Parallels-programs only in the home-directory of the current user (or, may be, in the /Users - I don't remember this detail. But not in any other dir outside of /Users).

    Is there a KB-Article for the prl_shownet.sh? It seems to allow only one vnic to show up.

    btw, try to run the prl_shownet.sh twice. This should help.
