I also discovered a workaround for the interim - by adding the not-configurable-by-GUI line: ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000" to the VM's .vmx configfile. (Also valid, to VMware v5 anyway, are 'vmxnet,' 'vmxnet3,' 'e1000e' and 'vlance' [the default and the source of my need for the AMD driver] though IIRC none had drivers within LEAF). KP, might you consider also the addition of the vmxnet3 adapter? (/drivers/net/vmxnet3 folder in the kernel tree.) Per VMware's KB article "Choosing a network adapter for your virtual machine (1001805)" ( https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1001805 ) it's billed as "the next generation of a paravirtualized NIC designed for performance". In any case thanks again for everyone's work on supporting LEAF! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: leaf-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user Support Request -- http://leaf-project.org/
