 Hi,
 
 over the weekend i narrowed the cause of this down: vmware3 under
 =46reeBSD stable as of March 4th runs but on FreeBSD stable as of
 March 5th does not run and crashes.
 
 =46urther investigation showed that the cause is the file=20
 /usr/src/sys/net/if_tap.c: with file file version
 
 $FreeBSD: src/sys/net/if_tap.c,v 1.55.2.8 2007/02/27 13:27:06 bms Exp $
 
 vmware runs, whereas with file versions=20
 
 $FreeBSD: src/sys/net/if_tap.c,v 1.55.2.9 2007/03/04 14:34:41 bms Exp $
 and
 $FreeBSD: src/sys/net/if_tap.c,v 1.55.2.10 2007/04/01 22:02:30 bms Exp $
 
 it crashes as described.
 
 I played a bit with the syctls introduced in the newer versions of
 if_tap but without any success regarding my problem.
 
 Btw: the error message in the vmware logfile is:
 
 Apr 23 13:59:05: VMX|Vnet_SetIFFlags ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device
 Apr 23 13:59:05: VMX|NOT_IMPLEMENTED F(717):1423
 
 Best regards,
 Hellmuth Michaelis
