| Summary: | [Panic] acquare_sem_etc → vlance driver calls acquire_sem_etc() from its interrupt routine |
I've removed the vlance driver from the image which is apparently broken.

Currently, vlance driver performance is pretty bad anyway - I've noticed very high packet loss.
Much better workaround at this point is to set ethernet0.virtualDev="e1000" in the .vmx which causes Haiku to use the ipro1000 driver instead. This driver has shown much better performance.
I'm certain the vlance driver will be improved eventually.

Is there any reason to keep this bug open? Or vlance driver is used somewhere outside vmware? If so, one should be ported from FreeBSD.

The driver still has this bug. I'm not sure if this driver supports some actual hardware besides VMware; if not, we should just remove it.

I believe the VMWare vlance interface emulates the AMD PCNet32 device which does supposedly exist in real hardware (although I've personally not ever seen it myself).
Whether this vlance driver was also written to support the original AMD PCNet32 devices, on the other hand, I have no clue.
FWIW, I do remember Travis telling me that NewOS previously had a rudimentary pcnet32 driver as well...

Even more interesting, it looks like Haiku's repo already has the beginnings of a FreeBSD port of "if_le" which includes pcnet/lance:
http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/network/pcnet/dev/le
Maybe if that was finished, vlance could be replaced in the image.

Maybe we should close this one and open a new ticket about porting if_le driver then?

We use FreeBSD pcnet driver since hrev42295.
In this configuration i can't boot at all! But disabling network device "Connect on power on" in vmware settings let me to boot.
