Subject: vmxnet3 driver broken since 3.0?

Under both 3.1.3 and 3.0.8, I am seeing the following when I modprobe
vmxnet3 build within the respective kernel tree:

[77314.335684] VMware vmxnet3 virtual NIC driver - version 1.1.18.0-k-NAPI
[77314.335742] alloc_netdev: Unable to allocate device with zero queues.
[77314.335744] # of Tx queues : 0, # of Rx queues : 0
[77314.335745] Failed to alloc ethernet device for adapter 0000:0b:00.0
[77314.335748] vmxnet3: probe of 0000:0b:00.0 failed with error -12

with 2.6.39.4 the module comes up fine and works fine.

haven't had a chance to try the one from the 3.2 release candidates yet.

thanks in advance!
