    Hi,

    Could you please create a new topic: vmxnet3 driver support

    The question is how to add vmxnet3 support to g4l?

    Any plans to add vmxnet3 support in next future g4l releases?

    Thank you.

    BR, Mikhail.

      Found the entry in the kernel build and clicked to enable it.

      diff .config .config.sav
      2039c2039
      < CONFIG_VMXNET3=y


      CONFIG_VMXNET3 is not set

      So, would just be the process to build the kernel with the new
      .config. Don't know if that would be all that is needed, but that is
      all it changed in the config

    I've created updated bz6x4.15 and bz6x5.2 kernels that have it enabled.
    Have built a new version 0.65 as 8th so far that includes this.
    Send me an email to mikes@guam.net and I can send you ftp link, or can send files.
    The syslinux version iso, or usb efi/non-efi image or development source.
    Or if you just want kernel(s) files.
    Was just changing option in .config file and rebuilding the kernels.
    Added about 18K to to kernel size.
    Usually add new ethernet kernels, but it was in a different section.
    Don't have wifi included, since it requires a lot more setup and is generally slower than wired.
    Don't know if this is all that is needed, or if it would need other support.
    I generally do testing with VirtualBox on images for files.
