RE: vmwareport does not work

[Reinier Bezuidenhout]

Hi ... 
I'll give my worth of what the messages actually mean ..

 i get 
 
 kldload: can't load /usr/local/lib/vmware/lib/modules/vmmon_up.ko: File
 exists

This means the vmmon_up is already loaded  - do a   kldstat

 sysctl: unknown oid 'net.link.ether.bridge_refresh'

Seems like you do not have bridging compiled into the kernel ??

 kldload: can't load if_tap.ko: File exists

This also axists already - same as vmmon_up above

 ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists

The ifconfig fails because it has already been done on bootup
with the vmnet device - that's why the error  "File exists"

 
 what' s wrong then ? 
 

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong ... except that bridging
isn't on (I think), but depending on how you use vmware networking
it is not a show stopper.
