Now we have two privileged network drivers:
socket_vmnetfor macOS hosts (https://github.com/lima-vm/socket_vmnet)lima-privileged-netfor Linux hosts (https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/pull/5483)
The functionality of socket_vmnet should be rewritten in Go and merged to lima-privileged-net to cover both macOS and Linux in a single driver.
