I need to change the NIC

I am attempting to load a FreeBSD hardened OS on to my VMware 6. My OS does not have the AMD driver in it. I also cannot get to the OS until I connect to it via a SSL session. This is an custom app written on FreeBSD. Is there any way I can Change the NIC from AMD to an Intel, that my OS will recognize?

You could add/change the .vmx file to include the following line

ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"

are there any other options? that didn't work either. It did show up as e1000, but my OS doesn't recognize it either.

There are only two options AMD PCnet32 or Intel 1000
