I believe you get a choice in vmware. I would probably choose E1000e and build that into the kernel. http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1001805 OTOH, perhaps VMXNET 3 just needs to be selected in the vmware configuration. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
