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.
