VMXNET(9)                                 Open VM Tools                                 VMXNET(9)

NAME
       vmxnet - vmware kernel module

SYNOPSIS
       modprobe vmxnet

DESCRIPTION
       This  is  a Linux kernel device driver module that drives VMware's fast networking device.
       As it is backed by real (virtual) hardware, it should be automatically loaded  by  hotplug
       or udev as needed. For best performance, it is recommended to enable TSO on all interfaces
       driven by vmxnet using ethtool.

       The shell code to do this might look like this:

       if which ethtool >/dev/null 2>&1; then
          for ethif in `ifconfig -a | grep ^eth | cut -d' ' -f1`; do
             ethtool -K $ethif tso on >/dev/null 2>&1
          done fi

       The VMware backend may present the fast networking device as an AMD vlance device  instead
       of the actual vmxnet device.
