Hi, 1. This patches are for support not vmware bridging mode, but for _FreeBSD_ bridging for vmnetX interface. In vmware you are have to work in hostOnly mode, but you are will be free from NAT/routing problems. 2. Bad news. If you were able to compile net vmnet module it means, that you _don't_ required to have special support for bridging in vmnet code. 3. I'm not sure that _FreeBSD_ bridge work properly with vmnet (or vice versa), I'm trying to start testing that stuff. With best regards, Vladimir On Mon, Jun 19, 2000 at 11:33:31PM +0900, MIHIRA Sanpei Yoshiro wrote: > 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.
