>Environment:
FreeBSD freebsd.foundstone.com 4.4-STABLE FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE #3: Sun Nov 18 12:21:36 GMT 2001     root@freebsd.foundstone.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LAPPIE  i386
>Description:
Installing Vmware after Nov 5, 2001 on a kernel cvsup'ed from after 
that day (approximately) breaks the networking abilities of Vmware.  
The problem seems to be with the linux networking code.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the vmware2 port from /usr/ports/emulators/vmware2 and install
a guest OS.  Make sure the kernel of FreeBSD has been updated to 4.4-STABLE,
the most current release.  (i.e. use cvsup)
>Fix:
Not known yet.  The following patches are reported to work:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=2544092+2549364+/usr/local/www/db/text/2001/freebsd-questions/20011118.freebsd-questions

This is just a quick fix, obviously not a final solution.
