I'm trying to get the VMWare2 port running under FreeBSD-4.2 with little success. The port installs fine and during the installation I tell it to use fxp0 (the only NIC in this machine) as the bridging interface. The vmware startup scripts appear to execute correctly on boot (no error messages) but the card still doesn't work in the VMWare machine. I originally had the VMWare machine's config set to use bridging and it complained about not being able to find the device. On reading the docs in /usr/local/share/doc/vmware I tried changing the setting to "host only" which fixes the error message about not detecting the vmnet0 device. However, networking inside the VM still doesn't work. Just for testing purposes I'm trying to get a FreeBSD install disk to the point of starting a network install, but it won't configure the card via DHCP and none of the lights on the hub are flashing to indicate traffic. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to compile the port and my ports tree was last cvsup'd yesterday.
