VMXNET3(9)

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.
