I am trying to get vmware going and having all sorts of trouble with
networking.

It has finally occured to me that the problem *may* be with my ethernet
interface, which is a 3com PCMCIA ethernet card, the 3c589d combo card,
device ed0.

The freebsd handbook says to see the man page for devices that arene't
supported for bridge; the man page says that

     Interfaces that cannot be put into promiscuous mode or that don't
support
     sending packets with arbitrary Ethernet source addresses are not
compati-
     ble with bridging.

I don't have any idea if this is true of the 3c589d, or even how to find
out.
