vmnet FreeBSD 9.2 and ESXi 5.1

[Josh Paetzel]

I just installed an amd64 FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE guest on to an ESXi 5.1 host. I am getting kernel panics from ESXi when I try to use vmnet NICs, whether from official vmware tools or from backporting vmnet from HEAD. 

I've been told vmware won't be fixing 5.1 for FreeBSD 9.2 issues, but I haven't chased that down.

So for now, just a heads up I guess. 

Thanks,
