FreeBSD 6.1 guest and ethernet driver (vmxnet or lnc)

$

Hello,

 

I have a FreeBSD 6.1 guest in vmware-server. Originally I was using the lnc0 driver (module if_lnc). Then I installed vmware tools, which installed the vmxnet kernel module for me and told me to use vxn0 with ifconfig.

 

However vxn0 is not available, and dmesg doesn't show any trace of such a device being available either. I thought the vmxnet driver should give better performance over the pcnet (lnc) driver?

 

How should one make the vmxnet driver available to the FreeBSD guest?

 

TIA,

 

peter
