em driver problem on vmware

I remember seeing the same thing when running a FreeBSD guest on
Linux/KVM, its informational, the code will enable said bits right after
it says that.

So, the focus should be on the data, you are saying the delivered
driver in 8.0 out of the box works and which driver exactly are you
trying to use, my last checked in?

More on the failure,  does it ping, does its link partner see anything,
etc, etc..
