I remade the whole thing, in the end, and now at least I'm not getting crashes
(at least, I think I remade the module... I did make and make install and so
on in /usr/ports/emulators/vmware3/ , but I couldn't see how to compile
vmnet.ko on its own).
On boot I still get this:
Additional ABI support: linux.
Starting cron.
Local package initialization:link_elf: symbol linux_ioctl_register_handler
undefined
kldload: can't load /usr/local/lib/vmware/modules/vmnet.ko: No such file or
directory

I guess the link_elf line doesn't look good, is it connected?Vmware starts ok,
then when I try to boot the vm I get this:
Could not query bridging status on /dev/vmnet1: Invalid argument
Failed to configure ethernet0.
in a dialog, and this from the console:
linux: pid 718 (vmware): ioctl fd=10, cmd=0x8940 ('\x89',64) is not

Thanks a lot for your help,
