No ethernet in vmware 5 with Linux 3.6

Hi there

I am struggling to figure out why there is no eth% device when running Linux 3.6 in vmware player version 5 ?

I've have compiled vmxnet support into the kernel and the boot up messages says it's loading all the right modules but it always seems to timeout when it comes to initializing the eth device. The kernel message is:

eth%d: i82596 initialization timed out

Has anybody any knowledge of what could be happening here ?
