FreeBSD: November 2009Archive

vmwarefusion-lnc0error.jpg

An error of FreeBSD on VMware Fusion "lnc0: Missed packet -- no receive buffer" was sometimes annoying me.

When bunch of this error stacks, virtual machine stacks too.After upgrading Fusion 3, it seems to run more stable, but this error still occurs.

I had been looking for solution to resolve this problem for several months and I found two solutions. The one is installing VMware tools and using vmxnet for Network interface, and another is editing .vmx file and add alternate NIC statement (e1000) in it.

VMware tools for fusion supports ony FreeBSD 6.3 and 7.0. Unfortunatelly I am using 6.2, so my environment was rejected by its installer.

I decieded to change NIC to e1000, and as a result it runs without problems.
