What you read about unsupported bridging is related to this. The vmware3 port 
supports bridging, but you can't use the 'Connection Type Bridged' in the 
virtual machine setup. However, bridging is supported via 'Connection Type 
Custom' and 'Vmnet /dev/vmnet1'. This is maybe a little confusing, if you are 
new to VMware on FreeBSD.
