NAME¶
vmxnet3 - vmware kernel module
SYNOPSIS¶
modprobe vmxnet3
DESCRIPTION¶
This is a Linux kernel device driver module that drives VMware's second fast
networking device. As it is backed by real (virtual) hardware, it should be
automatically loaded by hotplug or udev as needed. Unlike the older 'vmxnet'
hardware, the 'vmxnet3' hardware does not morph and as such the
modprobe-related logic isn't necessary.
