I have ~100 FreeBSD 8/9 VMs in my vSphere 5.1 environment, all using the VMware tools package from VMware. Everything has been running great for years. (we skipped vSphere 5.0). Why should I use this vmxnet driver instead of the VMware tools driver or the emulated e1000? -- Joel _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
