Hey everybody, I've searched the = archives and so=20 far have not found an answer to my problem. I'm having some = difficulties=20 configuring VMware for FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE. The build and version = of VMware=20 is vmware2-2.0.4.1142. My problem arises when I attempt to use = Bridge=20 Networking. The install of VMware goes fine, but when I go to = "power on"=20 to install an OS, it gives me the following error:

> Could not query bridging status on = /dev/vmnet0: Invalid argument
> Failed to configure=20 ethernet0.

When I run kldstat, I get:

> 2 1 = 0xc109a000=20 7000 linprocfs.ko
> 5 1=20 0xc10ed000 9000 vmmon_up.ko

(among others of course) = but what I am=20 not getting, which I've been told should be there, is vmnet.ko. I = searched=20 for vmnet.ko to load it manually and it doesn't exist on my system=20 anywhere. Could this be the problem getting in the way and = giving me=20 the error up above?

Also, when I run 'ifconfig vmnet0' I=20 get:

> ifconfig: interface vmnet0 does = not=20 exist

And when I run 'ifconfig vmnet1' I=20 get:

> vmnet1:=20 flags=3D8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu=20 1500

> =        inet=20 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast=20 192.168.0.255
>        inet6=20 fe80::2bd:a4ff:fe02:1%vmnet1 prefixlen 64 scopeid=20 0x7
>        ether=20 00:bd:a4:02:00:01

So, obviously vmnet0 is not configured, = or in=20 existance. And I'm afraid I don't have enough experience at this = point to=20 really know what the heck is going on. Can=20 anyone shed any light on this? I'm pretty much totally confused at = this=20 point. : ) Any help you could provide would be greatly=20 appreciated.

Thanks for your time, Mike
