When you are install vmware, it created new network interface (vmnet1) and assign that address.

It's not a bridge issue. And you don't have any reason to worry about this warning. -- Vladimir To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
