  Wao!, I tested Bridge supported vmnet with latest Vladimir's
vmware.tar.gz and net.link.ether.bridge_refresh patch.

  But I can't use bridge mode.  May I tell me some tips about bridge
mode?

My environment:
	5-current(cvsuped at June/18)
	My kernel configuration
		GENERIC with options BRIDGE

	vmware version 2.0.1.546

	I use de0 interface for external ethernet device.

	ifconfig

vmnet1: flags=843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.254.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.254.255
        ether 00:50:56:ea:c1:a9 
vmnet0: flags=802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500
        ether 00:50:56:ea:c1:a8 

	dmesg about bridge mode
	(after sysctl -w net.link.ether.bridge_refresh=1)
	BRIDGE 990810, have 12 interfaces
	-- index 1 de0:1 type 6 phy 0 addrl 6 addr 00.40.33.a6.56.29
	-- index 11 vmnet1:1 type 6 phy 0 addrl 6 addr 00.50.56.ea.c1.a9
	-- index 12 vmnet0:1 type 6 phy 0 addrl 6 addr 00.50.56.ea.c1.a8
	>> now de0 promisc ON if_flags 0xffff8943 bdg_flags 0x5
	>> now vmnet1 promisc ON if_flags 0x943 bdg_flags 0x5
	>> now vmnet0 promisc ON if_flags 0x903 bdg_flags 0x5

error message
	``Could not query bridging status on /dev/vmnet0: Invalid argument
	  Failed to configure ethernet0''

	If I use hostOnlymode, it's fine.
