I've gotten a P4 1.5Ghz with Win Server 2003 and VMWare 4.5.1. As the guest OS in VMWare I installed FreeBSD 4.9, and am using the GENERIC kernel. The problem is that the network card does not appear in ifconfig. dmesg has the following to say about the network card in VMWare: lnc0: <PCNet/PCI Ethernet adapter> port 0x1080-0x10ff irq 10 at device 17.0 on pci0 lnc0: driver is using old-style compatibility shims but "ifconfig -a" does not show the lnc interface. What could cause FreeBSD to see the network card (as seen in the dmesg output) but ifconfig not to show it? I'm downloading FreeBSD 4.10-BETA and 5.2.1 right now. I'll send another email if any of those versions work.

And now I can't believe the amount of time I spent on this! :-(
I have a WinXP Pro machine running VMWare 4.5.1 with a FreeBSD 4.9 virtual machine and it works just fine. lnc0 works exactly as expected. Do have something similar to this in /etc/rc.conf? network_interfaces="lo0 lnc0" ifconfig_lnc0="DHCP" Phil. Andr? wrote:> > I've gotten a P4 1.5Ghz with Win Server 2003 and VMWare 4.5.1.
