Although I haven't looked much at it for now, I think it could be possible 
with a pure software solution using an emulator such as Bochs and modifying 
its source so that it allows the guest operating system to access predefined 
PCI resources of the host. Bochs emulates every instruction of the x86 CPU, 
it is very slow and resource-eating but it will allow the whole PCI bus to be 
monitored.
This would avoid buying those expensive and probably hard-to-find NET2280 
cards, thus more users could submit logs for their devices.
