Description:

The devs-vmx.so driver is ported from FreeBSD to provide support for the VMware VMXNET3 Ethernet virtual network adapter. Its interface names are in the form vmx#, where # is an integer of one or more digits.

For information on starting io-sock with a driver or loading a driver later using mount, see Starting io-sock and Driver Management.” Unlike the FreeBSD version, you cannot load devs-vmx.so using a configuration file or by using loader.config.

For more information, see the FreeBSD documentation: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=vmx&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+13.0-RELEASE+and+Ports
