Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I am trying to get vmware going and having all sorts of trouble with networking. It has finally occured to me that the problem *may* be with my ethernet interface, which is a 3com PCMCIA ethernet card, the 3c589d combo card, device ed0. The freebsd handbook says to see the man page for devices that arene't supported for bridge; the man page says that Interfaces that cannot be put into promiscuous mode or that don't support sending packets with arbitrary Ethernet source addresses are not compati- ble with bridging. I don't have any idea if this is true of the 3c589d, or even how to find out. -- "Brian, the man from babble-on" bts@babbleon.org Brian T.
