I do not know enough to help with the problem you are seeing, but I
thought I would mention that I am running vmware2 on a freebsd-4.5
system, and it is working for me.  I follow the 4-stable branch, so
I have been rebuilding my system every few weeks.  It may be that I
had to do special steps at some point to keep vmware2 working, but
I don't remember what those would have been.  I do remember that at
some point I had to rebuild the port.

I am using netgraph bridging too.  So, it is possible for vmware2
to still work under 4.5-release.  It is not completely broken.
