Next steps:

0. Run: sed -i '' 's/em0/vmx3f0/g' /etc/rc.conf
1. Power off this vm (do not use suspend)
2. Edit the .vmx on the actual machine, change the following line from:

    ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"

  to:

    #ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
    ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"

3. Power on the VM
