I am trying to get vmware going and having all sorts of trouble with
networking.
It has finally occured to me that the problem *may* be with my ethernet
interface, which is a 3com PCMCIA ethernet card, the 3c589d combo card,
device ed0.
The freebsd handbook says to see the man page for devices that arene't
supported for bridge; the man page says that
Interfaces that cannot be put into promiscuous mode or that don't
support
sending packets with arbitrary Ethernet source addresses are not
compati-
ble with bridging.
I don't have any idea if this is true of the 3c589d, or even how to find
out.
