I tried NetBSD (as guest OS) on VMware 3.0 for Windows2000 (as
host).
When guest OS is NetBSD 1.5.2, it worked with "le" driver, and IPv6
DAD was failed because of a bug in multicast handling.
When guest OS is NetBSD 1.5ZA (snapshot/20020219-1.5ZA), it worked
with "pcn" driver, and IPv6 DAD seemed to work. It got IPv6 prefix
with rtsol command, and transfered files with ftp without problems.
I did not do any other tests.
