Hi all,

I have a Inspiron 11 3000 series, that has a 802.11n broadcom adapter.
Running FreeBSD 11 release P9 as a guest on vmware workstation 12.5.7, and
it detected the interface em0

If I configure guest freebsd as NAT to used to share the host's IP address,
my interface gets an IP address via DHCP

em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
        ether 00:0c:29:73:3b:d4
        inet 192.168.60.130 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.60.255
        nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
        status: active


If I configure FreeBSD as  Bridged: connected directly to the physical
network, which is what I want, no IP gets assigned to the interface.


Any idea why?


Thanks
Monah
