Hmm, I have some OBSD 5.1 Testmachines running under vmware Workstation 8.0.4 on a linux host. They work all with Network-Driver e1000. I did not do any configuration, it just worked out of the box. But I think, if your system puts it back to vlance instead of e1000, it is a problem of vmware and not of Openbsd. guido
