:: Log:
:: Make all Ethernet drivers attach using ether_ifattach() and detach using
:: ether_ifdetach().
::
:: The former consolidates the operations of if_attach(), ng_ether_attach(),
:: and bpfattach(). The latter consolidates the corresponding detach operations.

Hello,
After the commit, VMware seems to hang the system at boot time.
The "vmnet" module, that comes with VMware, needs the included patch.
Shouldn't we bump version or something, due to the kernel API change?
