This is with vmware 5.5.1 and FreeBSD/i386 running CURRENT with sources updated yesterday. The host os is running Linux. It should also be noted that I am experiencing the same, or at least a similar proble, with the lnc(4) driver. The console message says "device timeout -- resetting" For the record, running freebsd amd64 in vmware 5.5 will give you a "Intel PRO/1000" (if_em) card and not the lance card. And this works without any problems at all. --=20 Morten Rodal "A supercomputer is a device for turning compute-bound problems into I/O bound problems." -- Ken Batcher (Goodyear Aerospace) --r5Pyd7+fXNt84Ff3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFD9dNebWe1Cy11WVsRAhTaAKCk92XhYD/rkx4NQZ55oetFgSe+RwCeIcE4 Inwh4oZl+Qedup2GvTXAkJU= =qxPE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --r5Pyd7+fXNt84Ff3--
