I'm having some difficulties configuring VMware = for FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE. The build and version of VMware is = vmware2-2.0.4.1142. My problem arises when I attempt to use Bridge = Networking. The install of VMware goes fine, but when I go to "power = on" to install an OS, it gives me the following error: =20 > Could not query bridging status on /dev/vmnet0: Invalid argument > Failed to configure ethernet0. When I run kldstat, I get: > 2 1 0xc109a000 7000 linprocfs.ko > 5 1 0xc10ed000 9000 vmmon_up.ko (among others of course) but what I am not getting, which I've been = told should be there, is vmnet.ko. I searched for vmnet.ko to load it = manually and it doesn't exist on my system anywhere. Could this be the = problem getting in the way and giving me the error up above? =20 Also, when I run 'ifconfig vmnet0' I get: > ifconfig: interface vmnet0 does not exist And when I run 'ifconfig vmnet1' I get: > vmnet1: flags=3D8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> = mtu 1500 > inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 > inet6 fe80::2bd:a4ff:fe02:1%vmnet1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7 > ether 00:bd:a4:02:00:01 So, obviously vmnet0 is not configured, or in existance. And I'm afraid = I don't have enough experience at this point to really know what the = heck is going on. Can anyone shed any light on this? I'm pretty much = totally confused at this point. : ) Any help you could provide would = be greatly appreciated. =20 Thanks for your time, Mike ------=_NextPart_000_000D_01C124AE.116E5F40 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4522.1800" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hey everybody, I've searched the = archives and so=20 far have not found an answer to my problem.
