Subject: Re: kern/134079: [em] "em0: Invalid MAC address" in FreeBSD-Current
( 8.0)

I have the same, exact problem with FreeBSD-Current running on VMWare
Fusion (64-bit, 2 virtual procs, 4096MB Memory allocation, Mac Pro
host). Running 7.2 on this same configuration there is no problem with
the e1000 (if_em) driver. Upgrading to -current I get the following
error (in dmesg):
em0: Invalid MAC address
device_attach:em0 attach returned 5
My work around is to edit the "vmx" config file on the host for the
virtual image and change:
ethernet0.virtualDev="e1000"
to:
ethernet0.virtualDev="vlance"
so the virtual machine emulates an AMD Lance instead.
