Bob,

Are you on vmware?

Add vmware to the list of drivers in you /etc/nixos/configurations.nix
file. Man configurations.nix will bring up a description of the
configuration file. There is pull request to make this the default in the
future for nixos:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixos/pull/107/files

I seen it been mentioned that the x86-64 code has been better test just
because more systems are run on it.

Patrick
