I run a FreeBSD13.0-RELEASE VM on VMWare with a kernel compiled to run IPv6-only: include GENERIC ident GENERIC-IPV6ONLY makeoptions MKMODULESENV+="WITHOUT_INET_SUPPORT=" nooptions INET nodevice gre The open-vm-tools software is logging some errors: [2021-10-21T08:30:09.627Z] [ warning] [vmsvc] [34374492160] GuestInfoGetNicInfo: intf_open() failed [2021-10-21T08:30:09.627Z] [ warning] [guestinfo] [34374492160] Failed to get NIC info. These seem libdumbnet. I have a feeling that the part below of the code doesn't mix well with an IPv6-only environment and that the order should perhaps be shuffled a bit in order to improve things: https://github.com/pexip/os-libdumbnet/blob/master/src/intf.c#L119 (not sure if this is the official repository, sorry for that - it was the best I could find)
I meant to write: "the seem related to libdumbnet".
(In reply to Marco Davids from comment #0) Hello Marco! Sorry for long time to answer. It would be nice to report this issue upstream at https://github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools. If you can't do that let me know and I'll take care of it.
