Yes, exactly. The VMware web site have a warning  like this 'even don't try 
to run VMware on VMware guest, this don't work, and may be lock our
computer'. But the vmware vmmon driver have some footprint of code, to
support such thing in the special VMware version.

But at any case, in the last night I have a success with FreeBSD version 
of the vmnet driver, see announce in emulation.
