I see that the vic(4) driver is still not in amd64/conf/GENERIC. Has
anyone any recent experience with this driver+platform, or know whether
its absence reflects a known problem or just lack of testing?
For the record, it works fine for me on an i386 guest on ESXi 3.5 U3,
with adaptor type "flexible".
I'm fairly confident that using anything other than the default "e1000"
network device with 64-bit guests is discouraged by VMWare. At the very
least, e1000 is what new 64-bit guests default to, and I've personally
had plenty of success using the "em" driver with all sorts of 64-bit
*BSD guests in this configuration.
