Hey Eugene, With the exception that I *can* ping the vmnet1 interface but the ICMP echo replies from FreeBSD never make it back to the VMware hosted OS, and neither side can get the ARP address of the other, I see very much the same symptoms as you. I'm running 4.4-STABLE RC2 (I'm waiting fo

Hey Mike, Just as a POI, I think you'd get better results with 'rsync' for this application (from the people that brought you Samba, readily available via ports) - it'll do intelligent copying, when archiving can maintain a directory of the previous versions for files that change, uses SSH as

Much as I hate to reply to my own post, leaving *only* NETSMB commented out in the kernel config fixes the panic, and although there's still some strangeness with loading smbfs, it seems to load on the second try: tureg# kldstat Id Refs AddressSize Name 1 14 0xc010 2fd818 kern

Hi, I'm having a little trouble getting a CMD646 (built into to my laptop's docking station) to do anything other than BIOSPIO. It comes up in BIOSPIO, and atacontrol fails to set it higher... Not surprisingly, it pegs the CPU mightily when I try to use anything on those interfaces. Luckily m
