em driver problem on vmware

Howdy,
        I have freebsd80-release with an upgraded em0 driver from freebsd8.1 (and an appropriate touch of if_var.h). I'm running an amd64 on a  vmware vm.  And I see this in dmesg:

------------cut-------------
em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection 6.9.14> port 0x2000-203f mem 0xd8940000-0xd895ffff, 0xd8900000-0xd890ffff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci2
em0: Memory Access and/or Bus Master bits were not set
em0: [FILTER]
em0: Ethernet address: 00:0c:29:57:d7:7f
------------paste------------

        Now, I certainly may have done something wrong with my code switch (just copied over the sys/dev/e1000 directory from 8.1 and defined drbr_needs_enqueue in if_var.h). I'll start double checking.

        But, on the other hand, has anyone seen the new em driver working/failing on a vmware vm?


Thanks
