the recent if_tap patch implements device cloning (a-la tun(4)).
unfortunately i had to change vmnet device mask and that affects
VMWare port because minor numbers for vmnet devices has changed.
bottom line: in order to make vmnet working you need to change
minor numbers for vmnet device nodes. another solution would
be to link /dev/vmnet? to /compat/linux/dev/vmnet?
port maintainer has been notified. i'm sorry for the trouble.
thanks,
