 The VMTN community found a workaround for this:
 
 Edit the .VMX file and replace the type of network which is "vmxnet" by
 default to "e1000". This causes ESX 3.x to present a perfect virtual
 emulation of a Intel E1000 PRO Gigabit Adapter, which apparently seems
 to work very well.
 
 I was unable to verify this myself yet, since I fight now with a
 different problem.
