I just installed an amd64 FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE guest on to an ESXi 5.1 host. I=
 am getting kernel panics from ESXi when I try to use vmnet NICs, whether fr=
om official vmware tools or from backporting vmnet from HEAD.=20

I've been told vmware won't be fixing 5.1 for FreeBSD 9.2 issues, but I have=
n't chased that down.

So for now, just a heads up I guess.=20

Thanks,
