I think at this point you now need to add a new NIC that is VMXNET3, then see if FreeBSD picks up on it and assigns the corresponding driver as you would expect. Then transfer your IP settings to the new adapter and remove the original NIC. From what it sounds like in your original post, you tried to do something within the OS originally to try and trick the adapter ID to look like a VMXNET3 device ("ifconfig_em0 to ifconfig_vmx3f0")?
