In the host OS for Server, and in the , edit the ‘.vmx’ file for the FreeBSD host, adding the following line::

ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"

Then, in the FreeBSD guest, change all references to le0 to em0 (such as in ‘/etc/rc.conf’ and ‘/etc/rc.conf.local’). Do the same thing for ethernet1, le1 and em1, etc.

Once you’ve saved changes to the .vmx file, re-register the VM with an ESX host (e.g. use “vmware-cmd -s register …”).
