I'm trying to get vmware to run under FBSD 4.1 and when I enable the
network interface, I get

Could not open /dev/vmnet1: Device not configured
Failed to configure ethernet0.

What is left for me to configure?

Some info from the command line:

bash-2.04# ifconfig vmnet1
vmnet1: flags=843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.100.100 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast
192.168.100.255
        ether 00:50:56:ea:c1:a9
bash-2.04# ls -l /dev | grep vmnet1
crw-r--r--   1 root  wheel     201,   1 Oct 18 14:04 vmnet1
bash-2.04# ls -l /compat/linux/dev | grep vmnet1
crw-r--r--   1 root  wheel  149, 0x00010001 Oct 18 11:18 vmnet1
bash-2.04# cat /etc/vmware/config
vmware.fullpath = "/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware"
wizard.fullpath = "/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-wizard"
dhcpd.fulpath = "/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmnet-dhcpd"
loop.fullpath = "/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-loop"
libdir = "/usr/local/lib/vmware/lib"
vmnet1.HostOnlyAddress = "192.168.100.100"
vmnet1.HostOnlyNetMask = "255.255.255.0"
bash-2.04# 

Thanks for any help!
