Subject: Network problems with 3.2R as VMWare Guest OS

I've been running 3.2R as a VMWare for NT (0.80 beta, build 217) "guest" OS.

All seems well with the exception that the network seems to die occasionally
(no messages in /var/log/messages, I just can't access any other hosts on
the network).

The VMWare virtual network adapter is recognized as,

lnc1: <PCNet/PCI Ethernet adapter> rev 0x10 int a irq 9 on pci0.16.0
lnc1: PCnet-PCI II address 00:50:56:81:11:24

I can solve this with a simple,

% ifconfig lnc1 down
% ifconfig lnc1 up

Has anyone else experienced this? I suspect a problem in the VMWare virtual
network adapter or the NT driver it installed.

The lnc driver is not the most wonderful; you might want to talk to
Paul Richards (pa...@freebsd.org) about this.
