bms> You shouldn't need to use this module as tap(4) already bms> implements its functionality. You misunderstand what "vmxnet" is, since I didn't explain about it so much, sorry. Yes, tap(4) is there, but it is for FreeBSD "host OS." The vmxnet.ko kernel module is for FreeBSD "guest OS." As you know, VMware's virtual hardware may have "AMD LANCE" compatibile network device. However, it may also have their original ethernet device, just like vga device, named "vmxnet." -- - Makoto `MAR' Matsushita
