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"

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.
