Problem installing vmxnet3

Hello all,

I'm trying to manually install the vmxnet3 driver, vmxnet3.ko.

I'm able to successfully install it

using /sbin/insmod vmxnet3.ko

However when I try to bring the eth0 interface up (ifconfig eth0 up) I get an error

eth0: failed to allocate rx buf info

Note: My grub file is configured such that the OS and my applications runs from the boot sector itself.

Any ideas what might be happening and how to fix this?

Thanks!!
